SABC Has Revived Top Billing For It's 2026 Content Slate

The SABC is celebrating the return of South Africa's classic 'love it or hate it' magazine show, Top Billing.

The luxury lifestyle show was cancelled in 2019 after 25 years on our TV screens.

The Top Billing comeback was announced during a reunion event featuring former presenters, at a swanky seaside Cape Town hotel.

The show has partnered with Corona to bring viewers a Reunion Special on Thursday 27 November at 7pm on S3. 

Weekly episodes are set to return in March 2026, also available on SABC Plus.

The reunion is the perfect way to bring the show back and segue into what's in store in 2026, says Themba Gwejela, Group Executive for Corporate Affairs and Marketing at the SABC.

"We bring back the familiar faces for the reunion, and are also throwing back in terms of creating excitement around what people can look forward to next year. I think South Africans have really missed Top Billing."

He gives the assurance that, in line with the Top Billing tradition, they will also be introducing new talent to the show.
