South African fashion designer Gavin Rajah will choreograph a textile event at Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg on April 30 during the concluding session of the two-day India-South Africa Business Summit as a tribute to Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela. Indian minister for commerce, industries and civil aviation Suresh Prabhu will attend the summit.
