The years that Gandhi spent in South Africa have been admirably described by several scholars. This articles traces the development of a philosophy which became uniquely identified with Gandhi, and then looks at his legacy in South Africa, especially his influence in the social, religious, and political spheres. How is it possible that the shadow of so apparently frail a figure was cast so widely over events during most of this century?

Indian-owned stores were burned, looting was widespread, and 136 people were killed. For a number of years there remained a residue of fear and distrust at the personal level.

60 In 1958 a group of dissidents advocating the use of violence left the ANC in order to form the Pan-Africanist Congress, which was soon associated with a terrorist group called Poqo and banned. In 1961 the ANC secretly established a military wing known as Umkhonto we Sizwe (Spear of the Nation).
