Taking to her official X (formerly Twitter) account, Mama Joy shared a two-second video of herself wearing Mamelodi Sundowns colours at Loftus Versfeld, where the club took on Orlando Pirates in a Betway Premier Soccer League match played last Saturday.

It was not only the 4-1 drubbing of Orlando Pirates by Masandawana that had Mzansi talking.
