Born on 18 April 1971,[1] Moshodi was first elected to Parliament at the 2009 general election, when she was elected to represent the Free State in the National Council of Provinces.[2] At the end of the legislative term, she stood for election to the National Assembly in the 2014 general election, but she did not win a seat. However, two years later, on 11 April 2016, she returned to Parliament when she was assigned to fill a casual vacancy in the National Council of Provinces. She was re-elected to her seat at the 2019 general election.[2]
After the 2019 election, the ANC announced that it would nominate Moshodi for election as co-chairperson of the Joint Committee on Ethics and Members' Interests.[3] She was elected to the chair on 11 September, alongside Bheki Nkosi of the National Assembly.[4]
