Women in Business & Entrepreneurship:
Letty Nthabiseng Baloyi
Founder and director, Hyades Cleaning Solutions
Letty Nthabiseng Baloyi, an entrepreneur from Leeufontein, Mpumalanga, has made a significant impact in the business and community sectors. After completing her matric in the science stream in 2015, she pursued certificates in computer literacy, call centre training, and a short course in entrepreneurship at Chartall Business College. Motivated by a desire to serve, Letty founded Hyades Cleaning Solutions, a business delivering professional cleaning services while creating jobs and empowering her community. “No two days are ever the same,” she says. “I coordinate teams, oversee projects, liaise with clients, and ensure high-quality standards. The most rewarding part is watching our staff grow, gain skills, and provide for their families while transforming spaces for our clients.” Since its inception, Hyades has expanded across multiple cleaning sectors and secured a year-long contract with a leading property management company. Letty’s exceptional leadership earned her the 2024 Global Recognition Award for excellence in business and community impact. Beyond running her company, she mentors emerging entrepreneurs, champions community initiatives, and invests in personal development, making empowerment a central part of her mission. Guided by resilience, purpose, and the mantra, “focus on what you can control and give your best,” Letty is building more than a company—she’s creating a platform for opportunity, growth, and transformation.
