However, the reaction on social media has been far from positive, with many questioning her choice and criticizing her for what they perceive as attention-seeking behaviour.
One of the main criticisms aimed at Dineo Ranaka is her age. Some social media users argue that she is too old to be posting thirst trap videos, suggesting that her actions are inappropriate for someone in their forties.
Others have even gone as far as linking her behaviour to her recent struggles with depression.
Interestingly, some fans have referenced Lilian Dube, another well-known South African personality, who recently made headlines for criticizing Dineo Ranaka’s involvement in traditional healing practices.
Dube questioned the authenticity of celebrity sangomas and suggested that many young people were merely using it as a trend rather than genuinely embracing their calling.
The social media reactions to Dineo Ranaka’s dance video have been varied and colorful, reflecting the diversity of opinions on the matter. Here are some of the notable comments:
- @basilgoldprodn: “Heheee! Older women are now competing with ma-2000s.”
- @karenmscotts: “😂😂😂 I swear being a sangoma did a number on her.”
- @siyabongagreat: “Haibo, I remember she once said on Kaya Breakfast that she’s never comfortable in swim suits or revealing her body like that 😳. I suppose unemployment does get to a person sometimes 😂😂.”
- @tloutebatso1: “Women go through a lot of interesting phases. What’s this now… re satlo bona masepa moo social media.”

- @kingnema_jnr: “Uphi mama Lilian Dube mara?”
- @donaldmakhasane: “Only Lilian Dube can stop this.”

The comments range from humorous observations to genuine concern about the state of mind of celebrities and the impact of social media on their behaviour.
Lilian Dube’s comments about the prevalence of depression among young people and the potential misuse of traditional healing practices have struck a chord with many South Africans.
