C.J. Langenhoven, (1873 1932), was a poet who played a major role in the development of Afrikaans literature and cultural history. His poetry was one of the then young language's foremost thematic elements. He is known for writing the words for the national anthem, "Die Stem van Suid-Afrika", written in 1918, parts of which have been incorporated into the current  anthem.

He is affectionately known as Sagmoedige Neelsie (Gentle Neelsie) or Kerneels. Considered one of the most versatile writers in Afrikaans, he was a master of the short form of prose and is best remembered for his humorous and satirical works, illustrated by a nonsense-verse "love poem" he wrote for his dog.
