Mama Joy – real name Joy Chauke – has landed in Paris ahead of the Olympics, and she’s done so in style.
The superfan is bragging about flying to the French capital on business-class flights.
Despite her sponsored trips being canned by Minister of Sport Gayton McKenzie, Chauke has continued to receive free VIP trips from other sources.
MAMA JOY BRAGS ABOUT BUSINESS CLASS FLIGHTS TO OLYMPICS
On her X account, Mama Joy has been posting up a storm about her departure to the Olympics, to the surprise of many social media followers.
Sporting a funky suit and braids in the colours of the South African flag, Chauke posted: “Mama Joy to the Olympics, Paris.”
Seemingly laughing at her critics, the sports supporter bragged that she didnt need the Department of Sports to pay her bills.
Chauke posted “Business, as usual” on her Air France tickets.
In the comments section, a few tweeps calculated the exponential costs, which easily surpass R100 000.
WHO IS HER SPONSOR?
Responding to one tweep, Mama Joy revealed that her “sponsor” behind the Paris Olympics trip was her French boyfriend, nicknamed “Papa Joy.”
The couple met during Chauke’s trip to the Rugby World Cup in France last year.
She added: “I’m in Paris Papa, Joy took over… I am now A Superfan of him. Watch the space. I am enjoying.”
‘I DON’T CARE WHO PAYS’
Speaking to Robert Marawa on 947 last year, Mama Joy reflected on her Rugby World Cup experience. She also claims that she was unconcerned about who paid her bills.
“To be there, I don’t care who paid for me or whatever. Whether it was paid by the president of the country or whoever
“Sport is like tablets [it’s addictive]. You can’t take one, you have to take two”.
At the time, Mama Joy was facing criticism over her plans to go to the Cricket World Cup in India, which she eventually did go to.
Expressing her enthusiasm, she said: “I can go now from the studio and pack straight to India.”
She added: “Guys, please sponsor me. I am ready”.
