Dineo Ranaka Opens Up on How Her Ex-Husband Abused and Cheated on Her
Radio and TV personality Dineo Ranaka recently shared emotional details about the end of her first marriage during a candid interview on L-Tido’s podcast.
The star, known for her outspoken views, revealed that her decision to walk away from the relationship was fueled by physical abuse and infidelity.
In her conversation, Dineo explained how her ex-husband’s behaviour became increasingly toxic, leading to her eventual departure.
“He moered me,” Dineo recalled, explaining that the abuse crossed a line that she could not ignore.
She emphasized that while disagreements in relationships are inevitable, violence is never acceptable.
“We can do a lot of things, but I don’t understand why we must hit each other,” she said, expressing her pain over the physical violence she endured.

Allegations of Serial Infidelity
In addition to the abuse, Dineo revealed that her ex-husband was also a serial cheater. She made it clear that while some instances of cheating might be forgivable, the constant betrayal was something she could not accept.
“When you have made your life into the vaginal Olympics, then no…” she said, adding that the situation became unbearable.
Dineo explained that while forgiveness is possible in certain situations, there are limits to what one can tolerate.
“There’s cheating you can forgive, but then there’s the kind where it’s like opening a cupboard and all the roaches come out. That’s when you leave the property,” she explained.
A Woman’s Boundaries in Relationships
While Dineo clarified that she is not a feminist, she stressed that there are certain behaviours women should never accept in relationships.
“A woman should only submit to a man who submits himself to God,” Dineo asserted.
She also shared that she believes in the power of redemption, particularly when a partner is willing to return to their “godly ways.”
Efforts to Salvage the Relationship
Despite the abuse and infidelity, Dineo revealed that she initially tried to salvage the marriage.
“I’m the kind of person who says, ‘Let’s talk about this. Maybe we need to break up, but before we do, let’s discuss it. Is it a you thing?’, and if it is, because I love you, how can I help?”
Dineo, who is passionate about personal development, explained that she tried to approach the situation with empathy and a desire to help her husband improve.
However, the physical abuse was the breaking point for Dineo.
