Yesterday we reported that Dineo Ranaka has been announced as one of the new presenters for All Access Mzansi but the question was how would she juggle doing that while still presenting Club 808, starring in her own reality show & trying to establish a music career? Well it seems that she has dropped one her many jobs, that being Club 808.
According to Wonted.co.za Dineo Ranaka is done with the Etv music show & she will be doing her last show on June 28th! Reports are she will be replaced by YFM DJ Thando Thabethe who was one of the guest presenters who filled in for her while she was on maternity leave late last year.
Miss Thabethe, who does the 12-3 weekend slot, has been doing well for herself She started on the YFM graveyard shift, worked herself to a daytime slot; landed herself a role on the local sitcom My Perfect Family acting alongside the legendary Lillian Dube and now, as of the 28th, she is permanently joining Mo Flava on Club808.
As of the 6th of July the show will now start airing an hour ealier at 18.30 as Scandal will now air on 5 times a week.
