SABC cancels ‘Top Billing’ after 23 years and South Africa can’t believe it

Top Billing cancelled

The SABC is cancelling Top Billing after the lifestyle show’s 23-year run on South African TV.

According to a report by Sowetan Live, sources revealed that the SABC took the decision because the show was becoming too “expensive” to produce.

In fact, the broadcast service reportedly stopped renewing Top Billing’s contract four months ago.

The show was a favourite among South Africans, who got to witness local celebrity weddings, enter lavish houses and visit international destinations through its lens.

The news of Top Billing’s cancellation was a blow to those who believed the show inspired wealth in the country.

Other South Africans, however, felt that the show was “pretentious”.

The show’s final episode will reportedly air this Saturday.
