Over the past few years, Dineo Ranaka’s life has been marred by rumors…good and bad. However, it’s also been a time of progress and growth for the star.

And growing she is as she comes to our screens this July with her new reality show, Dineo’s Diary: Mogul in the Making.

Speaking at the media launch M-Net Publicist for Special Interest Channels, Nomphelo Ndzimela said that they had been in talks with Dineo since November 2011.

“Dineo is a multi-faceted, strong woman and this show will reveal all that about her. The audiences are in for a good time and a shock as to who the real Dineo is,” she said.

The show focuses on the life of Dineo and those close to her including her family, son and boyfriend rapper Les.

“Getting here has been a journey. I have a deep passion for TV and especially reality shows, so doing this show was something that has always been on the cards for me. My family has known for years that I had intentions of one day doing a reality show and they have been supportive so far,” said Dineo.

“There have been a lot of misunderstandings about who I am and what I’m really all about. This show will let people see the real me,” explained Dineo.

The show will also focus on the development of Dineo’s new fashion label, Love DR. We’ll also get to watch her grow her newly established company Brands At Work.

“I am doing this show because I am an entrepreneur and I have ideas I would like to pitch in the future for other reality shows. In essence, I am being a guinea pig here so that one day, when I am executive producer on a reality show, I’ll understand exactly what goes on. I also want to use this platform to create a name and a brand for myself in business and television,” she adds.

Dineo’s Diary starts on Wednesday 4^th of July on VUZU at 7.30pm, and it promises a lot of revelations, smiles, laughs, cries and of course drama.
