In this episode of The Small Print, Bronwyn is joined by David Ansara from the Center for Risk Analysis to unpack the recent budget speech. How worried should South Africa be about a budget deficit? What policies could be implemented to stimulate growth? Bronwyn and David also look at the dilemma faced by individual South Africans: Should we invest in the future we want? Or hedge against the future we don’t?
