A scapegoat is blamed for things he or she did not do or wholly responsible for, while a sitting duck is an easy target. MultiChoice, I am convinced, is a hybrid of both descriptions. I have held this view for a while and it has received reinforcement, though not needed, with the reactions to the just announced price adjustments. I have seen really hot takes-mostly absurd, spectacularly ignorant and borderline xenophobic, with a few sane ones.
