jojo mapfumo (previously mole) is adrian's first wife and mother of william, his younger son. the couple met when adrian, still chopping vegetables for peter savage, met jojo on her first day as a waitress, the same job given up by adrian's ex-girlfriend bianca. jojo and adrian's marriage was short, although long enough to conceive and produce a child, but jojo's memories are not exactly happy ones. she claims that adrian's conversation was far from stimulating, and one conversation that agitated her was when adrian accused her of exaggerating her sneezes. jojo complains that exaggerating her sneezes is the last thing she would do, being a six-foot, pregnant black woman in extravagant dress. jojo later divorces adrian and leaves for her native homeland of nigeria, with adrian taking custody of their child. jojo later marries a nigerian man who is very successful in business (initially named as colonel ephat mapfumo and later as wole; it is possible jojo in fact remarried twice.) jojo looks up her ex-husband on the internet and faxes him, complete with the information she found on the internet, much to adrian's agony. william visits his mother and stepfather in london while they are on their honeymoon. jojo asks if she can take william back to nigeria, as william is her eldest child and therefore held in high esteem by her family. adrian tells her that she cannot, so jojo goes back to nigeria without her son. between the events of "the lost diaries" and "weapons of mass destruction", jojo takes william back to nigeria, much to the heartache of adrian, glenn, pauline and george. william telephones his father, and asks if he can change his name to wole, like his stepfather's, to which adrian reluctantly agrees. jojo's family background is mixed; her father is a nigerian chief, her mother the owner of a lorry-driving firm, and at the last count there were 204 members of her immediate family.
