Gandhi says David always worked in the interest of the community.
"Providing legal help to people, offering not even to charge anything. He lived a simple life.
"He was involved in a number of organisations, a wide spectrum of community organisations. The Durban housing action committee, Verulam housing committee. He was involved in the legal association," says Gandhi.
