She has also conducted a series of interviews with personalities and celebrities for South African TV, Sandra Op 'n Drafstap.

Theatre career
Prinsloo has performed in more than 100 different productions, often playing leading roles in works by South African and international dramatists.
In 1985, Prinsloo and fellow actor John Kani caused a South African audience walk-out when performing the play Miss Julie by August Strindberg. In the title role, Prinsloo played a white woman seducing a black man. The play marked the first on-stage occurrence of a black man kissing a white woman under the Apartheid regime.
The play's producer, Bobby Heaney, speculated that the walk-out was "part of a well planned campaign by conservative whites". Both Kani and Prinsloo had to be escorted into the parking lot after each performance of Miss Julie, as there was fear that the actors would be attacked by "enraged right-wingers". Prinsloo reportedly received obscene hate mail and both received death threats.
When interviewed in 2014 for the 21 Icons Project, a series of short films about South Africans "who have shaped the world around them", Prinsloo commented that ""I thought [the play] would cause a stir, but I didn’t think it would cause a minor revolution. People were very small-minded and I suppose you live in a bit of a fool’s paradise when you’re an actor".
The actors later performed the play at the Edinburgh Festival. In 1986, Heaney directed a TV movie of the play for Swedish and Finnish television, which starred both Prinsloo and Kani.
Prinsloo returned to the Edinburgh Festival in 2012 with The Sewing Machine, an English-language translation of the Afrikaans-language play, Die Naaimasjien. In the 2000s, Prinsloo appeared on the South African stage in productions of Oskar en die Pienk Tannie; Janneman; Nag, Ma (Night Mother); and Liefde, Anna.
In October 2015, Prinsloo portrayed South African journalist, Jani Allan in Jani at the Aardklop festival.
