In June 2018, Mochadi was elected to a four-year term as a member of the Provincial Executive Committee of the ANC's Limpopo branch.[1] The following year, she was ranked 22nd on the ANC's provincial party list in the 2019 general election and was elected to a seat in the Limpopo Provincial Legislature.[2] She was also appointed to the Limpopo Executive Council by Stan Mathabatha, then the Premier of Limpopo, who named her MEC for Public Works, Roads and Infrastructure.[3] In this capacity Mochadi "declared a war against potholes", launching Operation Thiba Potholes as part of a campaign to improve road infrastructure in the province.[4][5][6]

Mochadi was fired from the Executive Council on 23 March 2020, during Mathabatha's first cabinet reshuffle of the legislative term.[7] She remained an ordinary Member of the Provincial Legislature.[2] However, at the next party elective conference in June 2022, she failed to gain re-election to the ANC Provincial Executive Committee.[8]
