South Africa's Mama Joy took to her Twitter account to say something about the Saturday match, 13 July 2024 between the Springboks and Ireland in Hollywoodbets Kings Park in Durban.
In X (Twitter) post, Mama Joy said in the previous game where South Africa won 27-20 against Ireland breaking the eight-year duck she fasted and prayed for the team, hence the win.
But in the recent game where Springboks lost 25-24 against Ireland, she did nothing. In fact, she woke up and ate pap and vleis and was snacking while watching the game in the comfort of her home. The superfan further made a bet saying if she is present in the next game, Springboks will win the game.
"Mamajoy @Springboks lucky charm was not there previous game I was on fast and pray for my team but today I ate Pap and vleis in the morning and during the game I was snacking ,,,next game lets bat if Iam there we will win the game @ChrisExcel102."
