Duvenage was born in Boksburg and educated at Hoërskool Oosterlig.^[1]

A three–quarter, Duvenage started his provincial career with Transvaal, before representing Northern Transvaal while attached to the Garrison club during the war. He served on the same battalion as Denis Shore and was said to have gotten the better of the Olympic sprinter when they competed in athletic meets. After the war, Duvenage turned out with Griqualand West and in 1949 was capped for the Springboks in two home Tests matches against the All Blacks. He appeared as an outside centre at Newlands and was on the right wing for the match at Kingsmead.^[1][2]

Duvenage's son, also named Florus, represented Transvaal in rugby.^[3]
