GAUTENG DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
GAUTENGDEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICDEVELOPMENTINFORMATION BROCHURE
Gauteng Gauteng…The Province of my home. You’ve always occupied a special and welcoming place in the hearts and lives of many South Africans. You continue to welcome everyone from far afield. Many crafted their dreams and their lives around you. You are the smallest of the Provinces, yet you have the biggest embrace. Many continue to come to you. They find shelter, hope, homes, comfort, wealth and health. They also find hopelessness, poverty, inequality and unemployment. You also shattered some dreams. But you can offer more to all. You are stronger than you appear. You are more than the sum of your parts. Lift your arms and embrace all; and inject progress and insinuate in the lives of the people of this Province. Root out poverty and inequality, create jobs. Be my Gauteng, Be our Gauteng, Be our Golden hope. Rise Gauteng Rise
Cyril RamaphosaThe Deputy President
