What’s the story, you ask? Last year, Dineo Ranaka hosted a fancy party ferry trip to the Portuguese islands, with a star-studded guest list. MSC Cruises SA claims that Smilz, Govender’s company, is the first defendant, while Govender himself and Ranaka are the second and third defendants, respectively.
According to MSC, Smilz and Ranaka signed a party agreement in which they agreed to hire the MSC Orchestra, a luxurious vessel, for a cool R7.5 million. The plan was to pay the amount in two equal installments before the cruise took place in February. However, Ranaka and Smilz failed to make the payments as agreed.

Now, MSC Cruises SA is demanding their money back, plus interest. The company claims that Ranaka and Smilz even signed an acknowledgement of debt, admitting their failure to pay. They did make a few payments, totaling over R4.1 million, but the outstanding amount of over R3.4 million remains unpaid.
So, it looks like Dineo Ranaka’s party cruise has hit a rocky shore. Let’s see how this legal battle unfolds. Will she be able to sail away from this storm, or will she be left stranded on the shores of financial trouble? Only time will tell.
