Ndzundzu was the first black woman to play cricket for South Africa. In July 2021, she told a Social Justice and Nation-Building hearing convened by Cricket South Africa that she had faced humiliation and discrimination during her international career. On tours, other members of the national team had wanted to change rooms if they were roomed with her, and had laughed at her poor command of English.[3]

After Ndzundzu retired as a cricketer, she became a police officer, and, subsequently, the selection convenor for the Border women's cricket team.[3]
