Modi to address SA Indian community
India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the oldest Indian community outside of the south Asian country at the Ticketpro Dome in Johannesburg.
Modi arrived in the South Africa on Thursday after he kicked off his four nation tour of Africa in Mozambique.
Thousands of people are expected to fill up the dome Friday evening.
India is looking to build stronger ties with African countries, as it eyes a share of the continent's natural resources.
Prime Minister Modi has hosted similar rallies for the diaspora in cities from New York to London.
While in South Africa, Modi is also expected to reflect on Mahatma Gandhi's time in the country.
Ghandi spent 20 years working in South Africa as a lawyer and activist campaigning for the rights of Indian people.
