Top Billing shines at The Strand Hotel in Swakopmund

Excitement was rife when the management team at The Strand Hotel heard that Top Billing would feature their hotel on one of their popular programs.

This specific TV crew was made up of the very professional Mfundo Khumalo (Cameraman), the ever witty Own Greef (Sound and Director) and the gorgeous Jonathon Boynton-Lee. Every woman swooned when Jonathan walked past them hoping he would smile in their direction.

The Strand honors local talent

Not only did the locals flock to this event, but curious international tourists thoroughly enjoyed the talents that came forward on 24 November.
