Johannes Radebe is currently single

"Due to internalised homophobia for the longest time, I thought that I did not deserve love," he said. 

"And it's a journey and the fact that I'm here at a place of acceptance and abundance, I feel like I'm ready and we'll see."

The dancer told HELLO! what qualities he looks for in a partner

As for what qualities he desires in a partner, Johannes told HELLO!: "Kindness goes a long way because the day that we don't love each other, as long as we are kind to each other, it will carry us." 

He also revealed that he's open to starting a family later on in life. "I would hate raising my kids when I don't know where they are. Children are a big responsibility, it's a lifetime investment," he said.

Johannes would be open to starting a family in the future

Asked whether he would encourage his future children to follow in his footsteps, Johannes replied: 

"I would love them to follow their heart and do and be who they want to be, that's the greatest gift you can give a child. You bring a child into this world, but you can never dictate their lives, they need to live it out and you as a parent just need to be there to love and support, that's your duty."
