What was the reason for Gandhi's visit to Africa
score:6
Accepted answer
Dada Abdulla and Sons in South Africa needed a lawyer who could speak Gujarati to settle a dispute:
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (his birth name) arrived in South Africa in 1893 at the relatively tender age of 24 as a newly qualified lawyer on a temporary assignment to act on behalf of a local Indian trader in a commercial dispute. What was meant to be a short stopgap for the struggling young lawyer turned into a 21-year stay, with spells in India and England.
