		Rathebe began her career at the age of 20 in 1949 when she was plucked out of obscurity as the starring actress and vocalist in Jim Comes To Jo’burg, the country’s first African feature-length film which portrayed the urban life of Africans.
		Rathebe was born Josephine Malatsi in Randfontein, east of Johannesburg, on 2 April 1928, but grew up in Sophiatown, the vibrant, cacophonous, brawling, creative, multi-racial slum that formed a "fl spot" in the middle of white Johannesburg.
		Rathebe, much addicted to gin in her youth, was in those days a cat fighter who thought nothing of tipping shebeen tables on her female rivals.

		Dolly was still an infant when her mother, Mmatanki Malatsi, settled as a subtenant in a house in Ray Street [in Sophiatown].
		Dolly afterwards attended St Cyprian missionary school — adjacent to her old pre-school — and sang in the school troupes — even though the sedate, well-organised music of school choirs was not quite to her taste.
		Dolly was crazy about her little angel, but found it extremely difficult to raise her daughter the way she would have preferred to, especially without the support and advice of a mother.

	P Jordan message of condolence on passing away of Dolly Rathebe
		Known to many of her generation as "sis Dolly," Rathebe, was part of the golden era of South African music and captured the imagination of the media and the people of South Africa, from the time she started recording in the 1950's to the present day.
		Miriam Makeba said that Dolly Rathebe was a role model for women in the 50s and 60s, at a time when many fl women were invisible in society, except as nannies or cleaners.
		Her generosity was so deep that when Miriam Makeba raised funds for her, Rathebe utilised much of these funds to build a multi purpose community centre, "Meriting wa Dolly" (Dolly's Retreat) in Sofasonke, a village in Klipgat north of Pretoria.
