Mama Joy shows love to Shauwn Mkhize

In a previous report from Briefly News, the Royal AM superfan Mama Joy Chauke recently gave Shauwn Mkhize a shout-out. This was due to the loss she faced in her battle with SARS.

The supporter shared a post on her X (formerly Twiter) page where she wrote a heartfelt message to the businesswoman.

"My children know where we come from, and they know this is just one of the seasons. With them, I do not have any fear that maybe one day they will leave me, together forever. Life goes on, guys, but I still respect and love you Ma. Thanks, Mamkhize Thwihli."
