Dineo Ranaka (born 16 December 1983) is a South African radio personality, television presenter, actress, DJ, and TV producer. As a radio presenter, she worked for several radio stations; she started her career at 5fm in 2003 presenting The Fanta World Chart Show with Brown Sugar, she then moved to Yfm, Highveld Stereo, Metro FM, and Cliff Central co-hosted Essential Rush, The Bridge, and Metro FM Top 40. She is the current main anchor of Kaya 959’s breakfast show.
She gained local attention after her show Dineo Live on Drive on Yfm was a great success, it is her talent combined with her “can-do” attitude that landed her in the driver’s seat as YFM’s first female afternoon drive time jock on “Dineo Live on Drive” which she hosted every Monday to Friday from 3 pm -6 pm. She made an on-screen hit on etv’s Club 808. Dineo also made appearances and starred in television series and shows which include; Real Goboza, Scandal, Gaz’lam, Yim’lo, Dineo’s Diary, Gomora, All Access Mzansi and Moja Love’s Ishushu. Ranaka also starred as one of the main characters in the feature film Baby Mamas.
A hut is a small dwelling, which may be constructed of various local materials. Huts are a type of vernacular architecture because they are built of readily available materials such as wood, snow, ice, stone, grass, palm leaves, branches, hides, fabric, or mud using techniques passed down through the generations.
In September 2021 Dineo Ranaka left people impressed after announcing that she finally answered her calling 17 years later and since then all she ever did is show people how proud she is about her calling.
Today she took to social media to share a video of herself inside her traditional hut doing what she loves, as a Dj by profession she decided to share a video of herself playing music and burning (Impepho) traditional incense. This caused a stir in social media as people were left in amazement at what she was doing.
After seeing this video some people started saying this is the first. Because they know that a hut is a peaceful place, so to see her doing this they were left in shock because they have never seen any traditional healer doing something like this, especially in a hut.
We can’t judge Dineo for what she is doing people do things differently. Maybe her ancestors approve because that’s her talent, again no one can do anything to upset her ancestors.
