Biography

Born Anna Lemmer Badenhorst Swart on 9 April 1924 in Potchefstroom, where she grew in a very musical family. She studied to be a teacher at the Pretoriase Normaalkollege from 1942 tot 1944.

In 1945 she married the lecturer and playwright Coenraad Frederik Rudolph (generally known as Coenie Rudolph), with whom she had three daughters and a son - all of them musical. The family often performed together and cut a number long playing records of their performances.

Having studied singing, she became a well know singer in Pretoria, i.a. as member of the Cantare singing group, and gradually evolved into an author starting with stories for children, moving on to adult short stories and novels, and finally to plays, musicals and operettas.

One of her most lasting contributions came through her realization that there was a gap in the market for Afrikaans childrens songs, and she began writing and composing these. As part of the process she (and her family in many cases) recorded and broadcast the songs as well. Many of her folk songs have published, including those collected in the volumes Volksangbundel van Anna Rudolph (1985) and Nuwe liedjies vir almal (1996).

She died on 2 September 1995.
