Everybody is talking about Dineo Ranaka's steamy relationship after a video of the singer and her new boyfriend surfaced online.

The former Kaya 959 presenter posted a cute video with her partner, Mfundo Nthangeni, on 17 November 2025, sitting at a restaurant while enjoying a conversation over drinks, laughs and some smooches.

With their words muted, a voice-over plays in the background, highlighting the importance of "marrying your best friend," someone you actually like and get along with, who makes the bad days bearable.
