She was named Minister for Women's Questions by Jean-Baptiste Bagaza in 1982[1][2] (some sources state instead that she took the position in 1974.[3]) She served alongside Caritas Mategeko Karadereye, who at the time was the Minister of Social Affairs; the two were the first women to serve in the Burundian cabinet.[1][2] She remained in her position until 1987.[3] During her career she also served as the secretary general of the Burundian Women's Federation,[4] and was a member of the political bureau of the Union for National Progress.[5] Later she was imprisoned,[6] being taken into custody the night before the 1987 coup; among her offenses was held to be making the suggestion that the army should be smaller. While in jail she was served Fanta lemonade mixed with salt, among other hardships.[7] Kandeke was a Tutsi.[8]
