Indian External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj in June visited the Phoenix Settlement near Durban which served as Mahatma Gandhi’s home during his stay in South Africa, and planted a tree sapling. “Where Bapu developed his philosophy of non-violence!” the Indian Consulate in Durban tweeted and added that Minister Sushma Swaraj visited the settlement, a South African Heritage site, “paying respect to the place that served as Gandhiji's home.” During the course of her visit, she planted a sapling of the Cape chestnut, a tree that is cultivated widely for its prolific flower display. She also interacted with students of the Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Computer Education and Information Technology, a centre established by the Indian government.
