Pretorius won a gold medal in the Women's fours at the 1994 Commonwealth Games in Victoria with Colleen Grondein, Lorna Trigwell and Hester Bekker.[2][3] 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.[4]
Her daughter Linda Ralph won a New Zealand bowls national title after emigrating to that country.[5]
