Located about 25 miles north of downtown Durban, South Africa. One is the legacy of nonviolence movement fighter, Mahatma Gandhi, another legacy of the Reverend Dr John Langalibalele Dube, the first President of the African National Congress. Each other and there is two kilometers thread that binds: empowering communities to live independently.
Mr. President, I come to report to you that South Africa is now free.
Phoenix Settlement is 40 hectares of agricultural land occupied by Gandhi and her family since 1904. A place that is remembered Gandhi’s grandson, Sita, as “a very beautiful place and not enforce the racial laws.”
In the agricultural area that is surrounded by sugarcane plantations, Gandhi’s teachings run Satyagraha (passive resistance), which became the basis of justice movement, peace and equality. In this communal experiment of life of every family gaining ground more than 8000 square meters for propagation. The result, that community can meet all the needs of their own, such as milk, food, butter, until ghee, and melted butter Indian.
Meanwhile, the Ohlange Institute in Inanda, which was originally known as the Industrial Institute Ohlange Native-founded Dube, three years before Gandhi occupies the independent of agriculture. His goal from the beginning is to make the people to be able to stand on their own.
Academic ability, according to Dube, who is strongly influenced by Booker T Washington, the founder of Tuskegee Institute of Alabama, which applies the concept of education for black citizens of the United States, must be balanced with the practical skills of the industry. Pupils were taught to make shoes, shirts, master mechanic motor, agriculture, and even journalism. No lag, which emphasized Dube-blacks-Zulu origin, is the formation of character.
