Joanna Bérenger is the daughter of Paul Bérenger and Arline Perrier.[3][4][citation needed] She has worked as a Project Manager of private enterprise Omnicane Limited, on the Mon-Trésor Smart City Project.[5][6]
Joanna claims to have been involved in political activities in Vacoas since 2010.[7] At the 7 November 2019 general elections she was elected to the National Assembly as a candidate of the MMM at Constituency No.16 Vacoas-Floréal.[8][9]
During the campaign leading up to the 2019 General Elections, MMM candidate Joanna Bérenger was the subject of a news article titled Zak dans tante (literally meaning "Jackfruit in the basket" and casting doubt about the legitimacy of the unborn child), about her pregnancy and imminent entry into Parliament as a pregnant woman. Journalist Hansa Nancoo later clarified that she had not meant to hurt Joanna Bérenger, and that the title was only meant to act as "click-bait".[10][11] Newspaper publisher L'Express later apologised.[12]
