Biography
Prior to entering politics, Zimba worked as an agricultural mechanic. He contested the Kapiri Mposhi seat as the Movement for Multi-Party Democracy candidate in the 2011 general elections and was elected with a majority of 7,000. However, defeated Patriotic Front candidate Eddie Musonda successfully challenged the result in the Supreme Court, resulting in a by-election on 23 April 2013. By then Zimba had defected to the United Party for National Development (UPND) and was the UPND candidate in the by-election, losing by a margin of 1,144 votes to Musonda.
