After representing Zambia at the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup, the 19-year-old was invited for trials at the English side Reading.
The Championship side was keen on securing him on a longer deal but due to work permit problems the move did not materialise.
Sunzu represented his country at the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Canada.
In that tournament, Zambia defeated an Uruguayan side that featured Luis Suárez and Edinson Cavani.
He signed a loan contract for Châteauroux in September 2008 and after the end of the season on 30 June 2009 returned to Zanaco FC.
He made his full international debut against Botswana in a 2009 African Championship of Nations qualifier.
In 2010, Sunzu transferred to TP Mazembe of Democratic Republic of Congo.

He was sent off in the club's opening 2010 FIFA Club World Cup game.
He scored the winning penalty kick for Zambia in the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations final.

In January 2013, he trained with Reading in the English Premier League with a view to being offered a contract.
He returned to the 2013 African Cup of Nations without any contract being signed.
