TV and radio personality Dineo Ranaka has reportedly been admitted into a mental health facility in Pretoria.
According to Zimoja, Dineo’s family friend has shared the update, saying that the media personality is fighting and will be okay. The publication adds that Dineo is grateful for the support she has received.
“She appreciated all the messages she has received from everyone. She hasn’t been able to respond to everyone, but she is fighting. She will be okay. Dineo is a fighter, everybody knows that,” the source said.
Dineo’s time off work
Kaya FM released a statement last week declaring their support for Dineo after she shared on her Instagram that she has been battling suicidal thoughts.
“I get it. I get them… Because I’m trying my best not to commit suicide. My mind is so loud of late, and life is f***ing hard, so f***ing hard, and I’m trying my best, but it seems my best isn’t enough,” she wrote.
The station’s managing director Colleen Louw said they wish her strength as she finds a way through her battle.
“Dineo hasn’t been on air this morning after openly sharing her struggles on social media,” the statement added.
