Mama Joy's Latest Team Switch Sparks Controversy Among Fans

• Mamelodi Sundowns supporters are firing back at Mama Joy following her latest alleged team switch.
• After parting ways with Royal AM, the outspoken sports enthusiast appears to have aligned herself with a new club, leaving fans questioning her loyalty.
• Despite her claims of strategic moves, loyal Sundowns fans are unimpressed, labeling her actions as opportunistic.

Listen, Mama Joy is in the hot seat again after what many perceive as yet another team switch. This time, it seems she’s traded Royal AM for the glitz and glamour of Mamelodi Sundowns. Her fans aren’t holding back their opinions, and the drama is heating up fast.

South Africans Roast Mama Joy Over Alleged Team Switch

It seems like Mama Joy lost patience waiting for Royal AM to get its act together. While the cash-strapped club battles legal troubles with SARS over a tax scandal, she’s apparently moved on to greener pastures—Mamelodi Sundowns, one of South Africa’s most successful soccer teams. In a recent video posted during a Sundowns match against Orlando Pirates, Mama Joy appeared to be cheering on her new squad. But loyal Sundowns supporters weren’t buying it. They’re convinced she’s just looking for her next big opportunity.

The Pretoria giants, known affectionately as Masandawana, have a fiercely loyal fan base. And when Mama Joy showed up at a Sundowns game, those fans weren’t shy about sharing their thoughts. They believe her loyalty lies not with the game but with the financial benefits that come with supporting a winning team.

One user, uKwazi_, summed it up perfectly:

"This woman just wants money."

Another fan, Floyd_Narcisse, chimed in with a similar sentiment:

"You want a free trip to the Club World Cup."

MainEv3nt added fuel to the fire:

"I think it’s clear that Joy does this for the bag, not for the love of the game."

And Encephalogist expressed disbelief:

"You’ve jumped the ship again."

SARS Steps In as Royal AM Faces Financial Turmoil

Mama Joy’s departure from Royal AM coincides with a significant development in the club’s ongoing saga. The South African Revenue Service (SARS) has officially taken control of the team after Shauwn “MaMkhize” Mkhize lost her legal battle in court. According to reports from Briefly News, Royal AM was embroiled in MaMkhize’s tax scandal, and her efforts to prevent SARS from appointing a curator were unsuccessful. As a result, the tax authority now holds full control over the club.

This turmoil has left Royal AM sidelined, with no competitive matches played since 2024. The Professional Soccer League (PSL) indefinitely postponed all of the team’s fixtures, adding to the uncertainty surrounding its future. It’s no wonder Mama Joy might feel compelled to seek stability elsewhere.

Royal AM Faces Additional Legal Challenges

If the SARS takeover wasn’t enough, Royal AM is also dealing with a high-profile legal dispute involving former player Samir Nurkovic. According to an earlier report by Briefly News, Nurkovic’s case against the club was escalated to FIFA, which ruled in his favor. Royal AM was ordered to pay him millions of rands, further straining its already fragile financial situation.

For Mama Joy, this might have been the final straw. With Royal AM mired in legal and financial chaos, the allure of a stable, successful team like Mamelodi Sundowns could be irresistible. But for Sundowns fans, her timing—and motives—are raising eyebrows. Only time will tell whether Mama Joy’s new allegiance will stick—or if she’s just biding her time until the next big opportunity comes along.
