Dineo Ranaka: 'South African men are cowards'

Johannesburg- It's no secret that Dineo Ranaka doesn't mince her words. 

The TV personality and fashionista recently opened up to Drum magazine, about how she feels about, the string of Xenophobic attacks that have rocked the country.

Dineo is no stranger to being attacked on social because of her history of dating foreign men. The reality star also explained that both her children are fathered by foreign men and she worries for their safety. 

"I have two children - a five-year-old son and a two-year-old daughter. My son's father is Zimbabwean and my daughter's grandmother is Namibian. This is why these attacks hit closer to home for me," she explained. 

Dineo added that she does not care about being ridiculed for dating foreign men, and dates whoever loves her.

She believes that foreign men, should be applauded for their determination to make a living in another country, to support their families. 

"It's something that our own men are unable to do because they are cowards. Instead of going out there to find jobs and means to sustain their lives, they go out and kill people who are trying to better themselves and improve their circumstances. These people come here because we are like the America of Africa - a land of opportunity," she told the mag.
