Her tenure in government extended from 1994 to 2024, during which she also held positions as Minister of Education, Minister of Science and Technology, and Minister of Home Affairs. She pursued an impressive academic journey, earning a Certificate for Continuing Education, a diploma in leadership development, and completing her PhD in 2019.
Dr. Pandor's parliamentary career began in 1994 when she became a Member of Parliament.

In December 2023, under Dr. Pandor's leadership, South Africa filed a landmark lawsuit with the International Court of Justice (ICJ), seeking an injunction against Israel for violations of the Genocide Convention in Gaza.
