Mahatma Gandhi’s legacy will be celebrated this month, when 25 walkers will participate in a historic Peace Walk from Gauteng to Durban, covering 750 kilometres.
Members of the Gandhi Development Trust (GDT) and the Rising Sun, a Caxton sister publication, will embark on the two-week walk from September 19, dedicated towards Gandhi.
Today, Friday, September 25, the walkers will be stopping over in Dundee, before leaving for Ladysmith the following day.  The group of is expected to be here late in the afternoon.
“The project, which is gaining momentum, will grandly conclude on October 2 at the Mahatma Gandhi Settlement in Inanda, Durban,” explained Rising Sun CEO, Vijay Maharaj.
The concluding date, interestingly enough, coincides with the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, and all accumulated funds will go towards the GDT.

The walkers will be accommodated tonight at the ABH Home, Glencoe. Dr Sandy Bedassi and his team have stepped in to assist and will also take the group to visit the Gandhi statue at Talana Museum and to the old Magistrate’s Court where Gandhi appeared in November 1914.
“Readers can also show support towards this charitable initiative by hosting a mini fun walk of about 5km, in which all proceeds raised are donated towards the GDT, an organisation embodying the values and morals which Gandhi himself, possessed.”
