This show literally showed me the life I did not know and encouraged me to dream beyond what I saw around me . I am a Computer Scientist/Analyst from a shanty township in the Westrand, thanks to Top Billing. Truly sad.
It's Ian F. He worked for many years on 5FM and now freelances on other radio stations. Search his name on TH-cam and you will see a few videos of him.
An era is gone, a sad farewell, let us never forget the beautiful presenters and of course Simba. Thank you for an amazing program. I hope all of the presenters and those behind the scenes of creating such an awesome program the best careers in their future ahead.
I grew up watching Top Billing, I made sure that I watch a repeat if I missed an episode and I got very sad when I learned that the show is ending, the show really inspired me it was giving me a peek of the lifestyle that I wanna live... Top Billing was truly my favourite show.
I am so sad 😞 This show was literally my whole childhood ! I moved to France and still managed to watch the show on TH-cam after all these years ! It’s devastating
Truly one of a kind. Top Billing will be greatly missed. Learnt of the architecture profession through this show, now in my third year in university and going strong. Was hoping to one day show case my designs on this show😢. We will miss you guys!
This episode is so emotional and yet still so inspiring. I grew up watching Top Billing and it opened up my mind and my horizons. I fell in love with the houses shown and my love for Interior Design stemmed from this wonderful show. Fast forward to today, I have been awarded a full scholarship to study Interior Design and I credit this iconic show for showing us that dreams are meant to come true. Mom Bassie, we love you and we are so grateful to you and your journey of hope.
I remember watching your show as a young boy with my sister in Zim years ago. We never missed an episode. It was always exhilarating and has never stopped that momentum. Thank you for giving us a glimpse into the life of luxury and inspiring us to better ourselves.
It was nice to see a happier side of Africa being showed. I was here when you guys had like 5,000 subbies. I haven't followed TB for awhile so I was amazed to see you guys had 105k subbies. It's good for young Africans to see that their continent has so much to offer and we can do amazing things with what God has given us. People love to see the negatives of Africa but this show went above and beyond in bringing the positive parts of Africa. I am truly grateful from the bottom of my heart for what you all have done. God Bless each and everyone of you and I pray for your time in this world 🙏🏾
Top Billing just had that feel-good atmosphere, everything was aspirational, the houses,the cars,the clothes, the lifestyle -it gave us life goals as a little kid, hamba kahle top billing !!!!!
But why Top billing😰😰😰? Will surely miss you - my favorite TV show. You were such an inspiration! I hope you will come back after few years because I don't want to let go but if you won't just know that you were an inspiration and I still dream of a Top billing standard house. ❤❤❤
Why can't Top Billing just open Their own channel. I mean think about it's a great idea. They can't end like that with all their work after so many years. A channel on Dstv maybe would be nice. Availability is there 24/7 ❤😿
💔💔 sad to see such an inspiring show come to an end. This aspirational show allowed us to dream and see places we might never physically reach.All the best to every single one of these top notch presenters and I hope they are snapped up by shows that will respect their craft♥️
I Am Surely Gonna Miss TOP BILLING #TOPBILLING Is The Best SOUTH AFRICAN Television And Also, #TOPBILLING Is So Inspiring! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
It is regrettable that the only tasteful television show in South Africa has ended a truly remarkable venture. Bon Voyage and abundance to the producers and the stellar team of presenters, crew, and writers. You will be missed.
This show was truly remarkable. It gave me a perspective of the great luxuries and inspirations that this country has to offer. I grew up watching top billing and never missed an episode. It fueled my ambitions and encouraged me to be successful. This show was the best thing to ever happen to my existence. Honestly my life feels incomplete without your show. My childhood dream was to someday be on top billing. I have tears in my eyes knowing that this breathtaking show is ending. Lots of love.
Nauseated as I am at flaunting wealth, I must say, 13:00 Lego Dubai is kind of inspiring. Still, I hope that we can inspire and strive for more than just fancy homes... what we need is heads and hearts filled with more than just aspirations, but accountability, understanding, integrity and compassion.
The ending of Top Billing is a clear sign of everything that has happened at the SABC - and in the Hands of the ANC - SAA, Post Office, SARS, Denel, Transnet, Eskom - Just to mention a Few - They've destroyed it all.
Noooooooo! I am sad! I bumped into a Top Billing segment 2 years ago and became a fan. You have amazing presenters and each segment is obviously well researched. #letthegriefbegin... Love from Kenya
Dang whaaat? I have enjoyed this show sin I found you on TH-cam few months back. I hope to see more of you in the future. hopefully someone else picks you up. All the best guys
:o I literally loved this show and would have loved for it to expand internationally !!! I guess I'll have to just keep all the episodes from the beginning on replay !
It’s by time that it came to an end. All good things come to an end. Top Billing lost it’s touch a couple of years ago. Sorry, but that is the honest truth.
Someone help me understand why the editors just cut off Ntando's mother while she was about to discuss why she thinks her daughter will win the competition, only to translate that to English, as if this South African show does not have African speaking viewers...
Top billing needs to do a rural version of Top Billing. Yes, we won't have mansions like these but we are South Africans of average means, mostly black, rebuilding our homes in rural areas. Instead of just building rondevels with thatched roofs, we are building 8 corners with garages LOL! I'm sharing my journey of building my own home as well. Check it out.
This show literally showed me the life I did not know and encouraged me to dream beyond what I saw around me . I am a Computer Scientist/Analyst from a shanty township in the Westrand, thanks to Top Billing.
Truly sad.
Thanks so much for your words.

@@KHAJR-Rawrrr Social media does the same job without having to pay presenters and travel
The guy who does the voice over for Top billing .I will miss your voice .wish you can be on screen just once so we see you ,man U have a TOP voice .

I watched this cause my parent never missed an episode and I just loved watching the houses. We only really concentrated on the houses though
The Khumalos outchea aging like fine wine 😍😍 #CoupleGoals

Time is changing everything so fast, life as we knew it is ceasing to be. Goodbye to a great show, a show I grew up watching.
Inspired to dream a little more
TV will never be the same :(

l already miss Top billing
It’s by time that it came to an end. All good things come to an end. Top Billing lost it’s touch a couple of years ago. Sorry, but that is the honest truth.
Stupid SABC cutting such a great show. Can't a private company pick it up?
Definitely. Netflix is the future. I think we need to have a South African alternative to a well set up streaming service.
So sad to see this go.it is a great show
:(
Bring back top billing
Someone help me understand why the editors just cut off Ntando's mother while she was about to discuss why she thinks her daughter will win the competition, only to translate that to English, as if this South African show does not have African speaking viewers...
🙁💔ahhh now I can never feature my dream home on Top Billing
You guys should do a YT show please..
ALL THE BEST
This is so sad😭🤧😫
Finally we meet the tribe
Im glad its over though It gave us something to dream about but now it got boring.
God bless you all
Miss this show
Ayandaq is such a beautiful women wow

Jokes aside can u please return this show 🙄🙄🙄
But Ayanda Thabete said: "Untill next week, Goodnight and God Bless"... So im not sure if this was the final episode for this season or nah
If this is the final episode, what did I watch on the 26th of October showing, among others, the Engelbrecht wedding?
