The centenary of Mahatma Gandhi's arrival in South Africa was celebrated in May 1993, exactly after 100 years of Gandhi's arrival in South Africa. Gandhi went to South Africa in May 1893 as a newly graduate lawyer at the age of 24.

Centenary means a Century.

So he (Gandhiji) arrived in South Africa in 1893, so the Centenary was celebrated in 1993. As he was arrived in South Africa in May, so the it was celebrated in May 1993.

Actual Mahathma Gandhi's arrival to South Africa is 1893 but hear in the question they have asked in which year it will become century of arrival of Gandhi that is why answer is 1993.

Actually the copies of our constitution were prepared ie handwritten copies were prepared by 24th January but it was enforced after 2 days ie 26 th January.
