She also said that she has been dealing with a lot behind closed doors and that life is very tough. She wailed:

“I completely understand souls, spirits, and people who commit suicide. I get it; I get them. Because I’m trying my best to NOT commit suicide. My mind is s0000000 loud of late, and life is f*cking HARD, so f*cking hard, and I’m trying my best, but it seems my best is not enough.”

Her sister Manaka Ranaka gave an update that the family is with her and trying to get her all the help she needs.

Kaya 959, where she presents the station’s breakfast show, has hastily found a replacement for her to allow her space and time to fight depression.

The station said in a statement seen by Daily Sun:

“The well-being of our people is the most important priority for the Kaya 959 team. Given this, we have made immediate changes to our line-up after Dineo Ranaka openly shared her struggles on social media. Sizwe will now stand in on 959 Breakfast from 6 to 9 am every weekday morning.

“Sizwe will be joined by Sol Phenduka on traffic, as well as the news and sports team. We are confident that our team of talented presenters will hold the fort extraordinarily well during this time. The stand-in line-up comes into effect on Wednesday, 24 May.”

Thomas Msengana and Skhumba Hlophe step in to host the lively Afternoon Drive slot, airing from 3 to 6 pm. Additionally, George Manyosi takes charge of Last Call from 10 pm to 12 am on weekdays.
