Dineo Ranaka reflects on working relationship with Sol Phenduka at Kaya FM

Former Kaya FM presenter Dineo Ranaka has opened up about her experience co-hosting the station’s breakfast show alongside Sol Phenduka.

Speaking candidly in a recent podcast interview, Ranaka reflected on the dynamics between herself and Phenduka, revealing the challenges she faced during their time working together.

 
Ranaka, who has since returned to Metro FM, explained that there were often moments of tension during their shows.

“I am your senior given the flagship of the show, so, calm down — I did not sign a contract to be trained on radio, I signed a contract because of what I bring into radio,” she said.

Her comments suggest that there may have been a lack of clear boundaries or mutual understanding between her and Phenduka, leading to friction during their co-hosting duties.

Dineo was brought onto Kaya FM in 2022 to lead the breakfast show, with Phenduka serving as her co-host.

However, reports at the time indicated that listeners were often critical of the show’s chemistry, with some feeling that Phenduka was being overshadowed or that their synergy needed work..

Meanwhile, Brian Monaisa recently confirmed breaking up with Minnie Dlamini, but didn’t detail why they split.

“I note with deep dismay that a tabloid newspaper published a malicious article regarding the reasons my relationship with Ms. Minenhle Dlamini ended. The article, as it acknowledges, is based on rumours and is far from the truth. It is not in my nature to entertain rumours, however, this specific rumour is malicious and has the potential to taint Ms. Dlamini’s reputation in circumstances where the rumours are devoid of any truth,” he wrote.

He concluded by clarifying the nature of their breakup:

“It is for this reason that I deem it necessary to set the record straight. Ms. Dlamini and I had a beautiful relationship which sadly came to an end purely for personal reasons, which had nothing to do with infidelity by either party. While our romantic relationship has come to an end, there remains mutual respect between Ms. Dlamini and me.”

Phila Madlingozi Pledges Acting Earnings to Assist Nandi Nyembe, Sparking Mixed Reactions

Phila Madlingozi, a well-known actor and musician, has pledged to donate his earnings from his next acting job to veteran actress Nandi Nyembe, who revealed she was facing severe financial difficulties. Nyembe, a beloved figure in South African television, recently shared her struggles publicly, which moved Madlingozi to take action.

Phila Madlingozi’s Generous Offer

In a heartfelt Instagram post on April 3, 2025, Madlingozi offered to take on any acting role and donate the entirety of his earnings to Nyembe’s medical bills. The promise was made in response to a public plea from Nyembe, who disclosed that she was struggling financially and lacked medical aid.

 

 
“I am offering to take an acting job. All the money that I’m paid can be sent directly to Mam Nyembe’s medical bills. Please share,” Madlingozi posted, expressing his willingness to help in any way he could.

Nyembe, who is wheelchair-bound, had earlier shared her distress in a video where she explained how she had spent all her savings assisting her son with a personal matter. She revealed that, at the moment, she could not afford healthcare, which only added to her challenges. The emotional video quickly went viral, drawing attention from her fans and the general public.https://x.com/MDNnewss/status/1907877177984696393?t=3szLvWAdM6mLuTU0ZxNO7w&s=19

The Outpouring of Support for Nyembe

Several individuals and organizations, including the Minister of Sports, Arts, and Culture Gayton McKenzie, rallied to Nyembe’s side after her public plea. McKenzie, in particular, donated a generous sum of R20,000 to help alleviate her financial burden. Madlingozi’s offer of financial support has added to this growing wave of solidarity.

Mixed Reactions from Netizens

While many applauded Madlingozi for his altruistic gesture, others voiced concerns about the motives behind his public offer. Social media users were divided in their responses, with some seeing Madlingozi’s actions as an example of genuine kindness, while others accused him of leveraging Nyembe’s situation to secure an acting job.

One commenter praised his generosity, saying, “Blessed is the hand that gives,” while another user expressed doubt, questioning whether Madlingozi was merely using Nyembe’s plight to attract attention to himself.

Critics also took to social media to accuse Madlingozi of exploiting the situation for personal gain. “Using ugogo (grandmother) to get a job,” mocked one commenter, while another user argued that he should have explored more direct options, like starting a crowdfunding campaign, instead of making his support public.

A Pattern of Generosity in South Africa’s Entertainment Industry

Madlingozi is not the first celebrity to respond publicly to Nyembe’s hardships. Previously, actor Carlo Radebe faced similar financial difficulties and homelessness, which brought attention to the struggles of many South African entertainers who fall on hard times. Despite their contributions to the industry, many of these actors find it difficult to maintain financial stability due to the irregular nature of acting gigs.

The debate over whether celebrity assistance should be publicized or kept private is ongoing. Some argue that public gestures raise awareness about the struggles faced by entertainers, while others believe that true generosity is quiet and does not require acknowledgment.

As Phila Madlingozi’s offer continues to stir conversation online, one thing is clear: Nandi Nyembe’s plight has touched many, and the conversation about how best to support struggling actors in South Africa is far from over.

In conclusion, Phila Madlingozi’s pledge to help Nandi Nyembe has sparked a wider conversation about the challenges faced by South African entertainers. While some view his gesture as a sign of hope and solidarity, others remain skeptical, raising important questions about the ethics of public charity in the celebrity world.
