Summary

Champion dancer and Strictly Come Dancing professional Johannes Radebe has captured our hearts with his mesmerising talent, bringing joy to millions of fans and wowing the most critical of judges. He is loved not only for his dancing, but for his beautiful, infectious spirit and energy.

Jojo: Finally Home is his never-before-told story, where he shares the experiences and challenges he's faced - from growing up in Zamdela, a township in South Africa, as a young boy with a passion for dance (and playing with Barbies), to becoming the star he is today. Dance transformed Jojo's future, giving him a tool to express himself - but as you will learn, this was not always easy.

Captivating and moving, these are Jojo's tales of euphoric highs and all-time lows, of making history, of grief, love, family and opportunity. It is a celebration of him finally feeling at home in his own skin. These are the personal moments that have shaped him into the man he is today - someone who lives life to the full and believes that no mountain is insurmountable.

Beautiful, poignant and inspiring story

Narrated in his own voice, the story comes alive with his beautiful accent that oozes warmth and love into all the words. It’s been a pleasure to be invited in to his world and share a part in discovering his journey through sadness and hard times to finally celebrating his true being,

Touched by your amazing story

I loved that he told his own story. Hard work perseverance eventually lead him to his dream. Told with a very thankful respectful point of view.

Love this man

I already thought Johannes was a very fabulous person. Having seen him in his live shows, and of course on strictly everyone can see his talent if you hear him being interviewed you soon realise he’s also a lovely person. So we already love this man. But when you read or listen to his book, you will be even more in love with him, and in awe of him. It’s lovely to hear his words from his own mouth. Great that he is reading it himself. Thank you Johannes may your star keep shining bright we see you!

So lovely to listen to Johannes story, in his own words, makes it very special to hear his story in his voice
