Dineo Ranaka (born 16 January 1983) is a South African radio personality, television presenter, actress, DJ, and TV producer.
Her show's success impressed clients such as Love Life, Sanlam, Samsung, Motorola, Vodacom, Cadbury and Levis, who requested that she specifically run and drive their on-air campaigns.
In September 2010, fireworks erupted between singer Kelly Khumalo and Dineo Ranaka during rehearsals for the YFM and Chevrolet Divas party.
A source told the Sunday World newspaper that things went wrong after Khumalo arrived at the rehearsals more than two hours late.
[17] Sunday World states that she was crying because she had had a fight with YFM marketing manager Tamaria Motsepe, who had allegedly denied her the chance to attend that year's J&B Met in Cape Town.
During the J&B Met weekend in February, it was reported that she had lost it and that she went into a tirade on a bus, where she allegedly swore at Brenda Ngxoli[18] and Palesa Mocuminyane.
[19] She then reportedly told Ngxoli and Mocuminyane off when they reprimanded her for complaining that Kenny Kunene[20] took her friend and colleague Faith Mangope to Mzoli's Buy and Braai Butchery in Gugulethu.
[21] It is believed that "Dineo was shouting and screaming, asking how Kenny can go to Mzoli's Buy and Braai Butchery in Gugulethu with her colleague and friend (Faith),".
Dineo reportedly spent three days in the Life Fourways Hospital after she was admitted for a brain-related chronic illness caused by stress and hypertension.
On Thursday 24 February 2011, Dineo was admitted and discharged after two days of treatment following her diagnosis of hypothyroidism,[22] a brain shrinkage, and temporal lobe epilepsy.
