South Africans respond to her latest interview

"Anything with Dineo Ranaka in it, no matter how long, is always worth watching."

"Sadly, people like Dineo are labelled “crazy” in society. She carries so much wisdom, articulates herself well and puts things into perspective. Respect to her."

@sisam1724 replied:

"She describes her personal relationship with God so poignantly. It's truly incredible and inspiring because it makes one desire their own int*mate encounter with God. An experience that is raw, ugly, messy broken...inarticulate...imperfect. It's a person unmasked and n*ked. It's scary but wonderful to be vulnerable in the presence of a perfect God who sees you for exactly who you are...and who knows all you've ever done good and especially bad, but still loves you and wants to save you."

"As much as Dineo says that she doesn't want us to put her on the pedestal but to be honest anything that comes out of her mouth healed me a lot. Dineo thank you."

@anelisasandi2208 replied:

"Dineo is growing into a Godly woman. I want to see her preach. God must continue refining her. She is gifted."

@angelahMomo said:

"Dineo speaks about God so beautifully. She makes me want to read my bible and seek God even more! Thank you Sesi Relebogile for such a beautiful episode."

@Lesiba2 replied:

"I know that most men don't like Dineo and her character or charisma, but I am one of those few men who enjoys Dineo's presence. I love how she unapologetically speaks her truth. The manner of which Dineo's speaks seeks not to belittle or undermine others. She also doesn't point fingers at people. Her level of introspection is amazing."
