This has included Papa Joy cooking a delicious spaghetti and mince dish, tasting wine with his two stepsons, and gifting the Chaukes French football player Kylian Mbappé jerseys and perfume.
On Saturday night, Mzansi's superfan took to her X account and posted several photos of herself, Papa Joy, and his plane ticket for the trip back to Europe.
The caption read:
"[I] am going to miss him. Papa Joy on his way to France."
