Self-proclaimed “Super fan” Mama Joy Chauke stooped to an entitled low on social media, demanding that government fly her to the US at taxpayer’s expense to support Bafana Bafana in June
When sports minister Gayton McKenzie said no, she tagged the Fifa president on X, and demanded that President Cyril Ramaphosa sack McKenzie.
It was only when the minister pointed out that her last trip to the World Cup had cost R700 000 that the egg on her face finally splattered. Such money should go towards sports development not selfish junkets.
