A library replete with books in English and Hindi related to Mahatma Gandhi, India’s relations with South Africa and literary works by Indian writers was officially inaugurated at the Tolstoy Farm, the commune where the Mahatma started his Satyagraha campaign at the turn of the last century.

The site, which was vandalised, was restored largely due to Hira’s indefatigable pursuits, with assistance from sponsors and the Indian Consulate in Johannesburg.
