JOHANNESBURG CITY HERITAGE SATYAGRAHA HOUSE Originally known as the The Kraal, this home was built by the architect Herman Kallenbach. From 1908-1909, Kallenbach lived here with his friend, Mohandas Gandhi. During these years Gandhi deepened his philosophy of non-violent struggle, called Satyagraha. Turning away from a life of wealth and comfort, both men embraced ideals of simple living, self discipline and manual labour. (Source: The Heritage Portal) In 2009, Voyageurs du Monde acquired the property and commissioned Johannesburg architect Rocco Bosman to oversee its restoration and new additions. The renovated house, now a museum and guesthouse, opened to the public in 2011.
