The Phoenix Settlement Trust<\/span><\/h1>

[\/fusion_text][fusion_text]<\/p>

Mahatma Gandhi (Gandidhji) established two settlements in South Africa before going to India and establishing his other ashrams there.<\/h2>

[\/fusion_text][fusion_text]All his Ashrams were carefully selected to be in the heart of where the poor and deprived people lived. In South Africa in 1900 he had family members who were living in the Tongaat area where he was invited to settle, but instead chose Inanda for his first ashram in 1904. This was strategically situated in the neighbourhood of the Shembe and Dube Settlements on the one side and the Mt Edgecombe and Phoenix sugar barracks on the other. Here he invited people to come and stay with him on condition that they renounce accumulation of wealth, they do not claim ownership to the land and they adhere to a few general rules of the Settlement which they collectively evolved into the following eleven principles over a period of time.[\/fusion_text][fusion_separator style_type=”none” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” sep_color=”” top_margin=”10″ bottom_margin=”10″ border_size=”” icon=”” icon_circle=”” icon_circle_color=”” width=”” alignment=”center” \/][fusion_button link=”http:\/\/www.phoenixsettlement.org.za” title=”” target=”_blank” alignment=”” modal=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” color=”custom” button_gradient_top_color=”#008343″ button_gradient_bottom_color=”#008343″ button_gradient_top_color_hover=”#ff9800″ button_gradient_bottom_color_hover=”#ff9800″ accent_color=”#ffffff” accent_hover_color=”” type=”” bevel_color=”” border_width=”” size=”” stretch=”default” shape=”” icon=”” icon_position=”left” icon_divider=”no” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=””]VISIT PST WEBSITE[\/fusion_button][\/fusion_builder_column][\/fusion_builder_row][\/fusion_builder_container][fusion_builder_container admin_label=”” hundred_percent=”no” equal_height_columns=”no” menu_anchor=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”http:\/\/www.gdt.org.za\/gdt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/paralax-2.jpg” background_position=”center center” background_repeat=”no-repeat” fade=”no” background_parallax=”up” enable_mobile=”no” parallax_speed=”0.3″ video_mp4=”” video_webm=”” video_ogv=”” video_url=”” video_aspect_ratio=”16:9″ video_loop=”yes” video_mute=”yes” video_preview_image=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” padding_top=”150″ padding_right=”” padding_bottom=”150″ padding_left=”” admin_toggled=”no”][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ layout=”1_1″ spacing=”” center_content=”no” hover_type=”none” link=”” min_height=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_position=”left top” undefined=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” border_size=”0″ border_color=”” border_style=”solid” border_position=”all” padding=”0px 3% 0px 3%” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=”” last=”no”][fusion_text]<\/p>
