Zama Ngcobo's Top Billing dream

Jul 12, 2012 | Zenoyise John Lifestyle Writer | 26 comments

WHO will be Top Billing's next presenter? The race is on and 10 finalists have been announced after four weeks of intense national auditions in Bloemfontein, Durban, Port Elizabeth, Polokwane, Cape Town and Johannesburg.

STEP FORWARD: The 10 Top Billing possibles.

One of the contenders is set to enjoy the fabulous life of presenters like Jeannie D and Janez Vermeiren, who have travelled the world courtesy of the 20-year-old show.

Top Billing fans will have an opportunity to watch the auditions over the next seven weeks in the My Top Billing Dream show.

The ultimate winner will receive prizes from sponsors including Nedbank, Mercedes- Benz, Virgin Active, Woolworths and Metal CH.

The finalists include off-beat beauty Khanya Ngumbela, Lauren Wallet, Jonathan Boynton-Lee, Kerusha Kisten, Capetonian Lynelle Kennedy, Zama Mtshali, Chamendran Naidoo, Greg Kriek, Lauren Blackwell and former SABC1 continuity presenter Zama Ngcobo.

All eyes will be on Ngcobo, who is no stranger to TV.

The socialite, who is a standard feature of high-profile party guest lists, was a continuity presenter of SABC1 in 2007.

Since then she has worked as radio DJ for Ukhozi FM and most recently appeared in our biggest soapie, Generations, as Tabitha Morris.

A confident Ngcobo says presenting comes naturally to her and she'd love to develop her career in this medium.

"Top Billing is the epitome of what one aspires to in this business. It's in a league of its own and I'm keen to learn the art of presenting."

My Top Billing Dream airs every Tuesday on SABC3 at 8pm.

I think this Zama chick must take a back seat and ghive others a chance. She had a fair share as a presenter so she must give others a chance to taste a good life. Plus wa mbora le ditsebe!!!

@Aquia - I agree with you sista 101%, she needs to give the others a chance - why is she greedy, wanting everything to herself & by the looks of it I won't be suprised if she gets it obviously she in the lime light and already has made friendships with the "top of the toppest".......that's how it works.

Please guys dont blame a chick for trying to make it in life. Would you rather see her suffer and die without a dime in her name and then make fun of her coz she was a celeb? She is not commitiing any crime mos,she is ambitious and hardworking. She too deserves that job just like every other contestant there,its up to other competitors to up their game. haikhona some ha.te nje is just not neccessarry bathong!

Zama,you go gal, keep on going you will oneday make it my dear. Follow your dreams. May all the negativity thrown at you be a motivation towards your goals. Go gal!!!
