Dineo’s Twitter drama takes a positive turn

Cape Town – ICYMI on Thursday night Dineo Ranaka caused a storm of controversy on social media when she tweeted a reply to a young woman whose Twitter handle is Miss Mnisi.

What went down: 
It all started when Miss Mnisi tweeted Dineo asking for help getting a matric dance dress donation. Dineo then replied that “A matric dance should be the VERY least of your stresses. The aim is not to look rich but to be rich #education1st.” 

Here’s that tweet and reply:

Other Twitter users were not happy with that reply from Dineo but the reality TV star did not back down. Miss Mnisi has since protected her tweets and has not responded to a slew of questions from media and the public. 

Here are some of the examples of Dineo defending her response:
