Returning to Africa in 1978, he became the Head of the Science Department at the Namibia Education Centre in Cuanza Sul, Angola.
In 1980, he was promoted to the post of Principal of the Centre.
He held that post until 1985.
Mbumba officially took a position with SWAPO in 1985 as Deputy Secretary for Education and Culture.
Leaving that position in 1987, he entered the position of Personal Secretary to SWAPO President Sam Nujoma.
A member of the South West Africa People's Organization (SWAPO), Mbumba has headed a number of Namibian Government ministries: Agriculture, Water and Rural Development (1993–1996), Finance (1996–2003), Information and Broadcasting (2003–2005), Education (2005–2010) and Safety and Security (2010–2012).
Since 1993, Mbumba has served in the National Assembly of Namibia and in government ministries including Agriculture, Water and Rural Development (1993–1996), Finance (1996–2003), Information and Broadcasting (2003–2005) Education (2005–2010) and Safety and Security (2010–2012).

He won with 352 votes against Utoni Nujoma 244 and pledged before the election that he would resign from his ministerial position if successful.
On 4 December 2012, Immanuel Ngatjizeko was appointed to replace him as Minister of Safety and Security in the Cabinet reshuffle that followed the congress.
He became president after the death of Hage Geingob, under whom he had served as the second Vice-president of Namibia from 2018 to 2024.
