WHILE Mzansi was celebrating Reconciliation Day, controversial TV and radio presenter, Dineo Ranaka, was apparently in no mood for reconciliation!
The 32-year-old star allegedly assaulted a girl 10 years younger than her in Dainfern, in the north of Joburg.
Dineo, who was celebrating her birthday, allegedly plunged a bottle of champagne into 22-year-old Tehila Nothnagel’s face.
Sunday Sun sources said Tehila and her friends were having a good time – but it was spoiled by the assault.
Tehila told Sunday Sun she was assaulted by Dineo on 16 December.
She claimed the incident happened at Piatto in Dainfern.
“I was having a good time with my friends at Inyati Sands.
“Then Dineo arrived with her friends and they were funny with us.
“We could hear them making bad remarks about us,” she said.
“When we decided to go to Piatto in Dainfern for drinks, Dineo and her entourage followed us there.
“They were
disrespectful to us and I went to ask them if everything was okay because they were talking bad about my friend,” said Tehila.
Tehila said that’s when all hell broke loose. She said Dineo took a bottle of champagne and hit her on the left side of her head.
“The first time the bottle didn’t break, but the second time it did. Shortly after that I could feel liquid flowing down my face.
“I thought it was champagne but I realised it was blood from my open cut,” she said.
Tehila said her friends then rushed her to the Netcare Olivedale Clinic to get six stitches.
“I don’t know why she did that to me. Maybe she was cross that we were chilling with the guy she likes.
“I went to Douglasdale police station to open a case but they sent me to the doctor. They said I should bring the J88 so they can open a case,” said Tehila.
