Gandhi, founder of non-violent resistance and father of India's struggle for independence from Britain, arrived in South Africa in 1893 to handle a legal case in Pretoria. He moved to Johannesburg in 1903 and, in between return visits to India, stayed in the country for 21 years before going back to his homeland.In 1902 he concerned himself with the rights of Indians in the Transvaal Colony.[71] He opened his own firm of attorneys (solicitors) in Johannesburg. In 1910 his supporters gave him the use of the Tolstoy farm (dedicated to the ideas of the Russian novelist and philosopher) outside Johannesburg which was to become the centre of the next phase of satyagraha (non-violent resistance). In 1913 Gandhi and 2,000 Indian men and women flouted the law and marched from Natal into the Transvaal. He was arrested and jailed. Eventually he reached agreement with General Smuts, resulting in the South African Parliament passing the Indian Relief Act of 1914. He regarded his work in South Africa as done and returned to India in 1915. Gandhi played a role in the building of the first Hindu crematorium in Johannesburg, and the first in Africa. Gandhi, who said in his autobiography that he would "always be a South African Indian", has been remembered in Johannesburg through the naming of Gandhi Square in 1999, which was originally the site of the first courthouse, built in 1893.
