She is a member of the African National Congress (ANC) and has been a member of the ANC Provincial Executive Committee in Limpopo since 2011. In June 2018, she was elected Deputy Provincial Chairperson of the ANC in Limpopo. Although the VBS scandal led her to "step aside" from this position between December 2018 and September 2020, she was re-elected to a second four-year term in the party office in June 2022. Shortly after her re-election, Premier Stan Mathabatha appointed her as MEC for Transport and Community Safety.
