Mwape became Zambia’s first-choice goalkeeper in 1971 although for the most part of 1973, coach Ante Buselic preferred Joseph Chomba of Zambia Army FC He was in goal as Zambia made an appearance at their first ever CAN tournament at Egypt 1974 and he played every minute of every game as they went all the way to the final only to lose 2-0 to Zaire after a replay. He was voted the best goalkeeper at the tournament by a panel of journalists after which Mwape said he deserved the award despite it being the first time he had taken part in a big tournament. Later that year, Mwape won the Challenge Cup with Roan and at the end of the year he was voted Zambia’s Sportsman of the Year.

In 1975, he lost his place to Abraham Nkole but returned for the two legged World Cup qualifier against Uganda in February 1977. The following month, he was left out of the national team for failing to report to camp and his club revealed that he had been missing from Luanshya since featuring for Zambia against Uganda. It emerged in April that he had written to the club requesting a transfer. This was prompted by Roan’s reluctance to give him chance to sit for his crafts training course at work which led to frustration. He then moved to Rokana United, and this led to the emergence of his understudy at Roan Vincent Chileshe who also took over at the national team. In 1980, Mwape’s younger brother Kenny played in goal for Zambia giving the siblings a unique record. Mwape made a comeback when he captained a young Zambian team to the CECAFA tournament and the following year, he traveled to CAN 1982 as a reserve goalkeeper.
