Gaolathe to Gaolathe: Budgeting through a crisis

In his 2009 budget speech, the late Baledzi Gaolathe forecast a deficit of P13.4bn due to the global financial crisis. His son, Ndaba, is due to announce a shortfall of more than P10bn on Monday. Both have had to deal with fiscal crises, but the younger Gaolathe has less room to manoeuvre, writes MBONGENI MGUNI
