Gondwe was playing for the Silver Strikers Ladies when in August 2026 she was included in the Lovemore Fazili's squad for the Women's Africa Cup of Nations in Rabat, but she was usually sitting on the bench. However she was called into the match when another player, Madyina Ngulube, was suspended and unavailable.

Malawi has never competed before at that level. Malawi joined Algeria, Morocco and Cameroon to qualify for the 2027 Women's World Cup in Brazil. In the semi final they beat Algeria to qualify for the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (Wafcon) final. Gondwe and Asimenye Simwaka were replaced by Vanessa Chikupila and Leticia Chinyamula after each side was down to ten players. Malawi won the match 3-1.
