Mundia was born on 21 November 1927 in [[Kalabo]], Western Zambia. He studied at the University of Delhi in India and later in the United States of America.
Later under the one party participatory democracy Mundia, who was released from jail, was appointed as Prime Minister of the country by Kenneth Kaunda and served from February 18, 1981 to April 24, 1985 replacing Mr Daniel Lisulo, who had become another outspoken critic of UNIP (United National Independence Party) policies, the then ruling party .
It was rumoured Mundia had intentions of challenging Kaunda for the Presidency in the late 80’s before his death. At the time of his demise Mundia was also envoy to Brazil, Peru and Venezuela as well as to Washington.
He had presented his credentials to President Victor Paz Estenssoro of Bolivia on a Friday and was attending a diplomatic function late Monday night when he collapsed and subsequently died of a heart attack on November 8, 1988 at age 62, and was survived by his wife and six children.
NB: He is the person behind Victoria falls power station and who brought electricity to Barotseland.

When he was release from jail, Zambia had become a [[one-party]] state, which was declared in February 1972. This essentially abolished all other political parties and unauthorised group gatherings and made Kaunda's UNIP the sole party. Munidia was appointed Prime Minister, a position he held from 18 February 1981 to 24 April 1985.
