The commissioning of season 4 of Dineo’s Diary by Vuzu AMP is significant for the South African reality television genre and further establishes Ranaka as a formidable force on the entertainment scene.
“It’s not often that shows like mine make it to season 2, let alone a fourth season and it is quite surreal to think that we have come so far. I am so grateful to the Vuzu viewers who have stayed with us and in fact grown with us,” comments Ranaka.
“In season 3 we saw the professional hustle and struggle that I had to face in establishing myself as an entrepreneur and businesswoman,” explains Ranaka. “I think sometimes it was exhausting for viewers to keep up with everything that was going on in that aspect of my very busy life.”
“Of course season 4 will continue to track that important part of what I do, but the focus now is very much on my personal journey – especially my relationships with my mom, my siblings and my children. My love life is also part of what viewers will see during this season.”
The star also reveals that Vuzu AMP viewers will encounter a much calmer person as a result of her being in her thirties. “I am 31 now and I don’t feel that pressure to please everyone, so viewers will see me in a far more centered state, a contrast to previous seasons where my life was quite choppy and hectic.”
Fans of the show will be happy to know that Ranaka is still as obnoxious, opinionated and as raw as before. “That is a huge part of who I am – what you see is what you get,” she says.
Dineo’s Diary season 4 debuts on Friday, 3 April at 19:00 on Vuzu AMP, channel 114 on DStv.
