Ses Top La, a new 13-part comedy series from the creator and producers of multi-award winning comedy City Ses’la, will start airing on SABC1 on Friday 1 June at 7pm.
The laughter continues with ghettolicious Phumzile, played by Busi Lurayi, and Themba played by Mandla N. The couple has now moved up from the city to the greener pastures of Sandton, where they meet a whole new set of crazy characters that become a part of their new lives.
“SABC1 considers local comedy as a key component to its programming. It’s in line with this view that the channel deliberated on how to grow the popularity of the award-winning comedy series, City Ses’la, and a new exciting proposition was born. Most of the cast of Ses Top La is brand new to SABC1 and we are sure to have all of Mzansi rolling with wholesome laughter come Friday evenings,’ says Dichaba Phalatse, SABC1’s Portfolio Marketing Manager responsible for Entertainment.
Packed to the brim with the same side-splitting, award-winning humour from City Ses’la, Ses Top La is the new show that sees our couple having to grow up without the safety net of their former friends, navigate their way through all the ups and downs of married life, owning an up-market apartment, “keep up with the Jones’ and everything in between. The question is… can they afford the high life?
This is what the executive producer Tumi Masemola had to say regarding the new series, “Ses Top La is a growth from City Ses’La in the same comedy genre. We hope that SABC1 viewers will find the storylines and the characters interesting, humorous and relatable and will most importantly enjoy the show.’
The supporting cast includes: Gideon played by Trevor Gumbi – the apartment’s scheming security guard; Buseje played by Lindiwe Ndlovu – the cleaning lady from Malawi; and Thoko Chanel played by Warren Masemola – is Phumi’s new fabulous sidekick.
