As a young woman hoping to be in parliament one day, I would like to fight for the rights of women, especially deaf women.", she said during her victory speech.
She loves acting and made her debut in Eve"s Cradle, the award-winning DTV drama. The character she portrays is a young Indian girl from a strict Tamil family who falls pregnant.
Candice disclosed that she had given birth to a baby boy in December 2004. This contravened the rules of both competitions.

This included being absent from the Paralympics opening ceremony, citing back problems. She returned to television soon after the scandal erupted to direct, edit and present DTV. She is the face that many hearing people associate with the South African Deaf community.
