How did Mahatma Gandhi's time in South Africa influence his activism?

While in South Africa, Gandhi faced racial discrimination which profoundly affected him and led to the development of his core philosophies of nonviolent protest and civil rights. His struggles there against unjust laws gave rise to his first experiments with nonviolent resistance, which he would later perfect in the struggle for India’s independence.
