In 1994, she won a gold medal in the Women's fours at the 1994 Commonwealth Games in Victoria with Anna Pretorius, Colleen Grondein and Hester Bekker.

It was the first time that South Africa had won a gold medal since 1958, following the return from their Anti-Apartheid Movement Commonwealth ban enforced in 1961.

After three bronze medals and a silver medal a fourth gold arrived in 2008, when she won the triples by winning the Women's Triples at the 2008 World Outdoor Bowls Championship in Christchurch.
