Mama Joy Chauke, South Africa's sports superfan, faces criticism for her trip to support the Springboks at the Rugby World Cup
She was previously a superfan for Orlando Pirates FC but switched sides and now supports Royal AM FC."I have known Mama Joy and Botha for as long as I've been a sports fan. Anyone taking offence at this is simply insulting them silently. Mama Joy has always shown up for every SA sport. I met her at OR Tambo on a school trip when she was welcoming the Olympics team in 2012."
