Bonang is not overrated if ever that top billing was on sabc1 it was gonna have more viewers than it does now, u can move the link to sabc3 and see if it is stilk going to have the same viewers am not saying Lerato is not doing a good job but u can't compare her to Bonang.

@ Kamoamoa agree with you and also that the Link has one presenter whereas Top Biilling has a lot of presenters you cant really make that Bonang vs Lerato comparison. The fact that more people watch the link does not mean Lerato is a better presenter than Bonang, she is good but i think she can still learn more. Also consider the the time the link plays its more flexible for people whereas Top billing goes against Skeem Saam and the target market is totally different

I agree Bonang is just overrated though...in my eyes she's just a normal presenter and Top Billing is not for her those long "pauses" she does on her links are terrible,

Hahahahaa.. DeeNeo I fully agree.. Glad to see Rhythm's ratings drop even further, hoping the directors take heed and get it back to what it used to be.

Skeem Saam is my show but I'm tired of the missing baby situation. I was so frustrated on Thurs when that little girl said that's not her baby.
