Millions of SouthAfricans were left saddened after news broke out that actress, Tv presenter and radio Personality Dineo Ranaka; was and had been on the verge of committing suicide for a while.

As someone who has always had controversial takes regarding trending matters, the 39 year old’s mental state left a lot of opinions divided. While most people took the opportunity to pray for her and send messages of support and positivity- others felt that she had it coming as she had always been an alleged “bully”.

 

 

 

 

Deemed as one of the most successful radio personalities in the country, Dineo Ranaka’s number of kids( three); has always been a thorn on her side as the fact that they are from three different fathers has always been used as ammunition by trolls.

Ever since her cry for help made its way to social media, a lot of celebrities have since reacted; and this is what millionaire and founder of the energy drink MOFAYA, Dj Sbu had to say…

“Guys what has become of us? I am not saying that I am perfect because I am not, I have my own shortcomings; but what has become of us? Dineo Ranaka’s situation has reminded me of Ricky Rick’s situation, which has reminded me of HHP’s situation, which reminded me of a whole lot of people who are not famous. Mental health is a serious thing. Imagine if it was your turn and people are just rubishing you and bullying you instead of supporting you. Imagine people reminding you of the things you did and are just saying ‘yeah Ifa Satan’. These are not nice words. Can we just practise being good people” said the businessman and podcaster.A lot of celebrities have succumbed to suicide thoughts, and have left us unexpectedly. According to experts, social media is a driving force being the recent surge in the suicide rate across the globe.

May Dineo Ranaka remain strong and pull through this ordeal as the South African entertainment industry has lost a lot of talented individuals, and would be very unfortunate to lose more.
