Statue of Mahatma Gandhi, Bronze statue in Gandhi Square, Johannesburg, South Africa.
The five-meter-high bronze sculpture depicts Gandhi as a young lawyer wearing his legal gown and holding a book while gazing forward.
The statue stands at the former site of Johannesburg Law Courts where Gandhi practiced law before the space became the main bus terminus.
The statue represents Gandhi's 21-year period in South Africa from 1893 to 1914, where he developed his philosophy of nonviolent resistance.
The memorial includes surrounding benches and benefits from continuous security monitoring through an integrated alarm system for protection.
Sculptor Tinka Christopher worked ten hours daily for three months to complete this monument, unveiled on Gandhi's birthday in 2003.
