Sizwe Dhlomo Roasts Mama Joy Over FIFA World Cup Saga: “They Won’t Take You”

• Sizwe Dhlomo had the timeline in stitches after roasting famous sports superfan Mama Joy over the Fifa World Cup saga
• This comes after Mama Joy declared her support for several high-ranking officials, a move many believed to be a tactic to score tickets
• The comment section erupted in laughter and even more jabs directed at the superfan, who has yet to address the criticism online

Sizwe Dhlomo proved why he is the undisputed king of Twitter clapbacks, and this time, his shade was squarely directed at Mama Joy.

On 8 May 2026, the outspoken media personality set the timeline ablaze after ruthlessly roasting the country’s most famous superfan over her public show of support for Deputy President Paul Mashatile.

Mama Joy, real name Joy Chauke, took to her X (formerly Twitter) page with a message encouraging Mashatile, accompanied by a photo of the politician.

"Lead us, Cde President Mashatile."

Responding to her post, Sizwe Dhlomo delivered a harsh reality check to Mama Joy,

"Lol! Yikho nje bengeke bakuyise kwi-World Cup (That's why they won't take you to the World Cup)."

Sizwe’s jab at Mama Joy’s political choices hit a sore spot for many, revisiting the ongoing public debate about her alleged government-funded travels to international games.

Despite already securing her own trip to North America through generous donations, Sizwe’s comments suggested that her government-backed perks might be on shaky ground.

While Mama Joy has been hard at work raising funds independently to ensure she is in the stands for the next big tournament, the media mogul’s playful warning hinted that her public political ties could still impact her status as a state-sponsored superfan.

Back in mid-April, she showed support for the President of the South African Football Association (SAFA), Danny Jordaan, after he appeared in court on fraud charges involving over R1 million in association funds, instantly sparking backlash from the online community, and her latest move did not land well with followers.
