At the Pietermaritzburg station, four plaques in the waiting area, where Gandhi spent the night, and a granite column, where he was evicted from the train, have been installed as a memorial to that incident and a tribute.
Durban's proximity to Gandhi does not end with that incident.
It was in Phoenix Settlement, around 20 km from this city, where Gandhi first used his so-called weapons - satyagraha, sarvodaya and ahimsa - which loosely translate into insistence on truth, universal uplift and non-violence.
