South African super fan Mama Joy has mourned the sad passing of her fellow soldier Goodenough Sithole, as the two shared very fond football memories together. Here's a look!

The story

South African football recently lost one of its proudest members following the tragic passing of Gooodenough, who was one of the PSL's most recognisable faces. The lifelong supporter was widely adored by the Bucs faithful and by many more for his animated commentary on the game.

He left South Africans with a number of quotable lines, including; "is not make sure" and "I like it for the Pirates." These terms, particularly the former, have formed part of the Mzansi pop culture, as you'll find many people using the reference on social media despite it having first surfaced more than a decade ago.

Mama Joy was a friend of his, in a friendship that stems a long way back in the early to mid 2000s. The now Royal AM fan has since posted an Instagram reel comprising of Goodenough and all the other fallen soldiers in the Ezimyama Ngenkani family.

An incredible 2022 for Mama Joy

While Bafana Bafana played no part at the recent 2022 FIFA World Cup, Mama Joy flew the SA flag very high in Qatar as she and a group of supporters from across the world received an all-expenses paid trip to the tournament. It is fair to say she looked exceptionally beautiful in her Mzansi regalia which was designed by SunGoddess.
