Indeed. Some are more enlightened than others, like everyone at DSTV who was involved with making this decision since they know we’ll merely complain like we always do while continuing to take this kind of treatment.
Perhaps their motivation is "It sounds like a good idea so we'll use our influence to make it happen"? No one is evil all the time.

Wow, we finally agree on something because that’s exactly the sort of response that I too would expect from calling someone out on their guilt. I mean entitlement.
Is the ANC the only difference you can think of between SA and those other countries you mentioned?
I see the guilt as easily as you see the entitlement. Do you reckon that those who suffer from the entitlement that you see so easily are aware of their entitlement? Will they readily admit that they are entitled? What kind of reaction might you get for calling someone out on their entitlement...
