Sophie Ndaba’s Son Lwandle Auditions for ‘Top Billing,’ SA Unimpressed: “It’s Giving YoTV”

• Actress Sophie Ndaba's son, Lwandle, recently made a bid to be the next Top Billing presenter by sharing his audition video; however, it didn't go as planned
• Despite a solid effort in interviewing a budding interior designer, his audition fell flat for many viewers. The consensus was that the performance lacked the sophisticated "glitz and glam" of Top Billing, with trolls claiming it was better suited for a YoTV slot
• However, despite the criticism, an outspoken group of supporters rallied behind Lwandle and cheered him on, proving that you cannot please everyone

Lwandle Ndaba’s quest for the soft life of luxury television hit a bit of a speed bump after his Top Billing presenter audition video went viral for all the wrong reasons.

Known for being the son of Generations actress Sophie Ndaba and former The Queen star Themba Ndaba, Lwandle is no stranger to the spotlight, but his latest move has shown he is determined to carve out his own path in the entertainment industry.

Stepping out from the massive shadows of his famous parents, the young creative, who is also a radio presenter and musician named Ocean L, hoped to prove that talent truly does run in the family by potentially landing the coveted presenting spot.

Taking to his social media pages, Ndaba made a bold bid for the casting with three audition videos, one of which featured a budding interior designer, whom he interviewed to learn more about her work.
