Introducing…

Babalwa Atalanta Fatyi

Babalwa is a founder and is director at Myezo Environmental Management Services (Pty) Ltd since 2005. She is an international registered auditor, with Master of Science (Cum Laude) (1999, University of the Witwatersrand) and recently BA Arts, Global School of Theology, USA.

 She is the visionary, the anchor and the eyes of the companies she leads and provides strategic direction, while stretching her arms to ensure that all support pillars are fully functional and compliant while still designing systems that would enable operational teams to achieve their deliverables. 

She often leads multidisciplinary expert teams to provide solutions for the entire sustainable development value chain from authorizations, implementation and monitoring, for large scale projects across various sectors and specialising in the mining sector.

 Babalwa’s vision, as a South African female business owner and entrepreneur, is to be a voice of consciousness, an instrument of change, in the manner in which developments and environmental matters are handled. She is also spear-heading industry succession planning and unlocking human capital value through mentoring, as a founding director of Myezo Growth and Development Institute, a non-profit organisation dedicated to this conviction. 

He vision has supported several scientists to attain their professional scientific registration. She has shared her sustainability insights at various scientific knowledge sharing national and international platforms and published in scientific journals. Her thinking and problem-solving skills including drawing well-reasoned conclusions from complex data, recognizing developing problems and handling them, has long since culminated into her being honoured with SA Association for Advancement of Science Award for an outstanding MSc degree in the Faculty of Science, 1999.

 In addition, she is an author of poetry books, which promote sustainable means of unlocking the natural resource capital while upholding coexistence principles. She has authored three poetry books, which addresses themes of sustainability, heritage and legacy, social cohesion and economic emancipation. She is a performer when there is a message to be delivered in that form and her books are published in audio as well. 

The very same poetic expressions are now pouring out as poetic garments to adorn the human core to promote environmental consciousness through fashion. She provides strategic direction to her founded ZenQ Core Fashion Designs (ZenQ), fashion house, intended to create clothes with a voice. 

She values natural capital and understands fashion dependency on it and leads to ensure value chain is understood and there is promotion of a lifecycle of from cradle to grave hence he NPO she founded had formed a strategic alliance with Vintage Recycling Project. 

Even before being hounored as one of the Africa’s most influential women in Africa: in the arts and culture sector (2015-2016); professional services (2017-2018); and later a regional winner for SADC south, SME sector 2019-2020; she had put a tangible expression to being a woman through dedicating her life to walking with intention, respect and pride on the path that the stalwarts have paved for us as women. She is grateful for and has graciously received honour from many other respected organisations including Black Business Quarterly Awards. 

She intends to continue using both written and spoken word (as a poet and published author) to honour our efforts as the people through expressions that would move hearts and encourage us all to take positive sustainable steps towards active citizenship, for the betterment of our country and the world.

BOOKS BY Babalwa Atalanta Fatyi

“Impacting lives with Christian literature”

When the Mulberry Trees are uprooted

This book is intended to encourage all humanity, to reflect on their lives and to rebuild any ruins, on a strong foundation by uprooting those things that hinder us from achieving a life of hope. It matters not where we find ourselves but if we are rooted in the truth of God, we will surely bear fruit.
We all have various talents and gifts that we have been ordained with, and need the zeal and faith to use them, for the expansion of the kingdom of excellence, hope, light and truth, but if we are entangled in turmoil such as lack of peace, social injustices, the faith to excel might dwindle and disappear.
It is in those moments that I hope my book guides us to confront those difficult situations and allow the truth of God to propel us forward into a life.

Greetings from my soul

Just like the principle of greeting is about acknowledging others, ‘Greetings from my core” is about acknowledgement of our presence, our being, as well as songs and aspirations, travels, victories, and supernatural encounters of our core. The essence of our being has many stories to tell and share and no longer has to remain submerged within the oceans of our uncertainties. My aspirations are about life experiences, the depth of our being and the revelation that I am more than my physicality.
