Mama Joy shared the exciting news through pics on social media, ticket in hand. She told her French boyfriend Papa Joy that she was on her way.

She showed a video of her bumping into another celebrated South African Carol Tshabalala on board her flight.

Mama Joy on seeing the award-winning sportscaster, said: “Look who I met inside my flight Airfrance @SimplyCarol8 Paris Olympics.”

Mama Joy even reposted a previous post as a reminder to Mzansi that she said she would attend the feted event.

“You said it Minister @jsteenhuisen next stop for Mamajoy Olympics ,,, france Am coming Paris am coming Super plan Mamajoy.”

The question on everyone’s lips is: who paid for Mama Joy’s latest jaunt?

Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture Gayton McKenzie previously said he had stopped all trips for superfans.

McKenzie went on to explain that artists and athletes struggle to find funds to attend sporting events and exhibitions.

Netizens have weighed, of course, with the biting humour one can only expect from Mzansi. @ManimoDJ said: “My good Sir @GaytonMcK you lied to us.”

“Papa joy paid maybe,” added @Dingswayo_N.

@bheki1968 said: “Travel safe mama, pain went straight to the haters.”

@Sonia_zwa wished Mama Joy well: “Killer them with success, Mama! They must all know that Mamajoy is a brand. As taxpayers, we are happy to see you using our tax money to represent our country to the world.”
