South African reality-TV star and radio personality Dineo Ranaka is making a bold transition into the world of talk-show hosting. On April 22, 2025, she revealed her new show “The DRS” (The Dineo Ranaka Show) through an exciting teaser video on her Instagram along with a comprehensive press release.
Dineo Ranaka aims to transform her dormant YouTube channel into a must-watch platform for viewers seeking authentic and informative conversations.
In the launch clip she jokes about finally putting her channel to good use, declaring: “Finally! Dineo Ranaka has woken up and decided that she actually wants to do something constructive with her YouTube channel after having it for how many years?! Now I’m here to do what fulfills my heart. Let’s talk about things that are substantial, things that impact us in society and on this show this [is] where we come to tackle the real, the raw and the relevant.”
That promise of depth and authenticity is the backbone of The DRS. Her written announcement carries the same energy, introducing the show with the punchy slogan “The real. The raw. The relevant.” She explains further:
“Dineo Ranaka Set to Shake Up the Talk Show Landscape with ‘The DRS’ – The Real. The Raw. The Relevant
Johannesburg, South Africa – Tuesday, 22 April, 2025 – Get ready for a fresh and authentic voice in the talk show arena! Media personality and visionary, Dineo Ranaka, is set to launch her highly anticipated talk show, ‘The DRS’ – short for The Dineo Ranaka Show.”
Dineo makes it clear that this project is a true talk show, not just another podcast: “Determined to carve a unique space in the digital landscape, Dineo is clear: this is not a podcast. Her vision is set on building a traditional talk show with a classic format, embarking on a humble introduction with aspirations for monumental growth.” She even quotes the Bible, referencing Zechariah 4:10 to highlight the power of “small beginnings.”
