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.
Presenters travelled to locations around the world and often partook in exclusive activities such as sky-diving, skiing, and scuba-diving.
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.
