Cape Town — After sparking engagement rumours all over social media, South African superfan Joy ‘Mama Joy’ Chauke has laid it all to rest. Her confirmation was revealed through clips of her embracing traditional wifely ‘makoti’ duties.
Since embarking on her romance-infused trip to Paris, in which she also had the opportunity to attend a couple Olympic games, Mama Joy has taken to her timeline sharing clips of her cooking traditional South African meals for her French lover, a mysterious man dubbed as Papa Joy.
