About Me

Unveiling the charming and Charasmatic Dineo! ... I'm kidding (or maybe not)🤭😊

I am an accountant, an investment banker by profession, but an artist by heart.

I grew up in a small village in Limpopo called Tshehlwaneng, and was raised by my lovely grandmother for a couple of years before I moved to the bustling city of Pretoria where I lived with both my parents.

Moving to Pretoria was such a crazy experience, it was my first time using electricity (we didn't have any in the village) and I was so shocked that a toilet could be in the house, because in the village we used the outside pit toilet and you avoided eating anything funny because diarrhea was a nightmare (literally, imagine going to an outside loo at 1am🤣)

After I moved to Pretoria, I did my primary schooling at Oost Eind (I hope I spelled it right😅) before moving back to Limpopo to stay in Polokwane once my mother qualified as a doctor

I spent the majority of my childhood in Polokwane before coming to Johannesburg, or otherwise known as Johustleburg, to attend university and eventually started my career in banking.

A few more things about me:

1. Adventurous Spirit:
I think I am a true adventurer at heart, always seeking new experiences and pushing boundaries. Whether it's hiking through breathtaking landscapes, exploring hidden gems in the city, or embarking on spontaneous road trips, I thrive on the thrill of discovering the unknown

2. Passionate about Life:
Passion radiates from every aspect of
my life. From pursuing hobbies and interests to engaging in meaningful conversations, my approach to life is filled with enthusiasm and a zest for living. Whether it's discussing art, music, literature, or engaging in thought-provoking debates, I am always eager to explore new ideas and perspectives.

3. Intellectual Curiosity:
I enjoy engaging in stimulating conversations that challenge conventional thinking. From discussing the latest TV gossip to exploring philosophical concepts, I'm keen to talk about just almost anything!

4. Sense of Humor:
Laughter is an essential ingredient in my life. With a quick wit and a playful sense of humor, I love sharing hilarious anecdotes or engaging in witty banter, I do also have a healthy dose of sarcasm

All in all, I have a thirst for knowledge, a compassionate heart, and a zest for life, I hope to build meaningful connections that will leave you wanting to explore the world and realizing that the beauty of life lies in us connecting and sharing stories, with a sprinkle of laughter

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On my 24th birthday, I decided to hike up Table Mountain in Cape Town, and it's still one of the most beautiful views I've seen

Teach, Learn, Share

I can probably teach you some Sepedi (a local South African Language), and would share my mixed culture of being Congolese and MoPedi over a bottle of good South African wine
