As reported by The South African website, Mama Joy earlier this season switched her allegiance from Orlando Pirates to Shauwn ‘MaMkhize’ Mkhize’s Royal AM side.
Mama Joy will represent Sanasu
“I would want to take this opportunity to thank SAFA, especially president Danny Jordaan for embracing us supporters as critical stakeholders of the game,” she said, as quoted by the SAFA website.
“This is massive because I will not only be representing my organisation Sanasu but will be doing this for my Association (SAFA), South Africa and COSAFA.
“I will be among a few global faces of soccer fans at the draw.
“Provisionally, they have promised that a few more fans from South Africa that include Sanasu president, Saddam Maake, will make the trip during the World Cup tournament and we intend to leave a lasting impression there.”
Mama Joy will leave on Monday, 28 March and return to South Africa on Sunday, 3 April.
