Dineo's Diary spin-off on the way to Mzansi Magic

Apparently one reality show isn't enough. There's a Dineo's Diary spin-off on the way to Mzansi Magic next year: The Ranakas.

It starts on Thursday, 12 January at 20h00 and follows Dineo Ranaka, her parents and siblings.

These are the members of the family who headline the show:

Kgotlaesele Ntate Ranaka

A writer and publisher, the 70-something Kgotlaesele is the willful, outspoken traditionalist, who is seen as the head of the family, and often tries to impose his cultural views on the kids.

Mama Siba Ranaka

Catering business owner, Mama Siba Ranaka is the wise family matriarch. Often seen as the voice of calm in the storm, she’s at times regarded as an “enabler” for bad behaviour.

Manaka Ranaka

Manaka is the eldest sibling. A popular figure, known for her string of high profile drama and production roles, she’s inherited her dad’s strong-willed personality, placing an emphasis on respect. Despite her famous public profile, Manaka prefers the simple life and shies away from the media industry limelight.

Mpumi

Mpumi is the insightful, introvert. This gentle soul is a writer, mom and home-maker.

Dineo

Television producer, media personality and mind coach, Dineo Ranaka is the versatile go-getter, struggling to balance family life with her newfound success.

Ziggy Ranaka

Entrepreneur, Ziggy Ranaka is seen as the hustler of the family and is the eldest son. The show picks up on his previously documented wedding plans from Dineo’s Diary.

Ranaka Ranaka

Ranaka is the family’s last born and fully embraces his youthful lifestyle. Ranaka is a highly talented creative, DJ, and event organizer. Dineo has described him as “the one who will be the most successful of all of us.”

This kills me, I really cant wait. I think it is going to be a great season espcially because the previous season of Dineo's Diary, the show did zoom in on other cast members so it's about time the entire family tried to upstage Dineo

Dineo, a mind coach? How can she be a mind coach when she can't control her own mind? Ever saw her in those violent outbursts? I'll pass on the coaching aspect.

I'm smelling another "keeping up with the kardashian" something......
