Speaking to TshisaLIVE, Joe said he was honoured by the gesture and excited to return to South Africa, a country he holds dear. 'It's always refreshing being in South Africa because it's always love,' he said. 'Unfortunately, I experienced glitches in my previous performance. I received an offer to perform at Ndlala Mall and I grabbed that opportunity so I could do justice to my fans who paid their hard-earned money to see me perform but experienced bad sound during my performance.'
