Why are we called Waloyo?
We were inspired by the moving piece of music called Waloyo Yamoni composed by Grammy award winner Christopher Tin.
The word Waloyo means to overcome in Lango, an East African language. As a name, Waloyo means someone with immense ambition, who is confident and tackles difficult problems with forward-thinking solutions.. We embrace this, as part of our organisational character.
Translated into Zulu Waloyo means "ukunqoba" and in Xhosa "uloyiso". In Sotho it means "tlholo" and in Afrikaans it is "oorwin".
We selected the sunbird as an icon in our logo as it is native to Sub-Saharan Africa and it represents new beginnings and is a symbol of hope and change.
