Answer:

So first he decided to remain in South Africa to begin a campaign against the legislation to basically give Indians the right to vote. He then formed a group called the Natal Indian Congress. Soon in 1906, the Transvaal Government wanted to restrict the rights of Indians even more. So, Gandhi organized his very first campaign of mass civil disobedience or whats called satyagraha. This protest lasted several years and finally, he and the South African Government came to a compromise. In 1914 he returned to India to live there and was even supporting Britain in the first world war. But in 1919 he did another mass civil disobedience because Britain made it mandatory to draft Indians in the military. A lot of people supported this protest and by 1920 he was the leader of the Indian movement for independent.

( If this sounds wrong or is wrong then I am very sorry but I think this is right I also did put this in my own words)
