Top Billing (TV programme)

Top Billing was a South African lifestyle television programme that aired on SABC3 on Saturday evenings from 18:00–19:00 with repeats on Sundays at 12:00.

Local celebrities such as rugby player Bryan Habana, singer Tamara Dey and Muvhango actress Ntahbiseng Mphahlele have been given equal attention.

People who dislike Top Billing base their hostility on the "questionable ethics" that "dressed presenters will sit down alone to a meal prepared for them in a luxurious setting.

This is in a country where people are going hungry..."[4] Others complained that the content featured in the lifestyle programme are unaffordable to the average viewer.

This was accompanied by an 8-day late salary payment, after the company had apparently spent R400,000 expanding their working premises.
