Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa yesterday charmed his audience when he, in his address at the Gauteng Government's economic indaba in Johannesburg, recited a poem dedicated to the province.He told delegates: "I wrote a little poem about this wonderful province."It reads: "Gauteng! Gauteng! the province of my home, you have always occupied a special and welcoming place in my heart. You continue to welcome everyone from far and afield. Many have crafted their dreams around you. You are a smallest of provinces and yet you have the biggest embrace. Many continue to come to you and find shelter and homes, and comfort, wealth and health." ..
