Pasella set to end after 28 seasons
Pasella will come to an end.
The show, a combination of travel, food, competitions and all things lifestyle, has been cancelled.
SABC2 announced the cancellation of the show on May 6.
Produced by Tswelopele productions and the brainchild of Pieter Cilliers, the show hit TV screens on March 17, 1998 at 7.30pm.
For longer than two decades the show unearthed talent and introduced a host of presenters such as Derrich Gardner, Shemane Harris, Paul Rothman, Vicky Davis, Minki van der Westhuizen, Amalia Uys, Hemelbesem, Christi Panagio, Mishka Patel, Eloise Cupido and Jo-Ann Strauss.
Gerhard Pretorius, SABC2 channel head, said the decision to cancel the show was a hard but necessary one due to the introduction of a new channel line-up.
