International career
Sister has made over 40 appearances for the South Africa women's national football team. In 2010, she scored in a match against Mali. In the same year, she competed at the 2010 African Women's Championship, where South Africa finished third. She represented South Africa at the 2012 Cyprus Women's Cup, and the 2012 Summer Olympics, where South Africa drew one match and lost two matches.
Sister scored a goal in a warmup match against Cameroon prior to the 2012 African Women's Championship; she had missed two previous games against Zimbabwe to rest an injury. During the 2012 African Women's Championship, Sister tested positive in a doping test. Initially facing a two-year suspension, her ban was later reduced to one year by the Confederation of African Football (CAF), ending on 16 December 2013. The physician responsible for administering the substance acknowledged their fault and received a four-year ban as a consequence.
Sister returned to the national squad in 2014. She was not selected in the South African squad for the 2015 African Games in the Republic of the Congo, as Sister was finalising a move to Győri ETO.
