Lungameni is from Gobabis, but moved to Windhoek to attend Windhoek Technical School. He spent two seasons as a member of the Namibia under-19s team, including at the 2011 Under-19 World Cup Qualifier, and made his debut for Namibia A in July 2015, against Botswana. Lungameni made his senior debut for Namibia in January 2016, in a Sunfoil 3-Day Cup match against Gauteng (a South African provincial team). Later in the 2015–16 season, he also made appearances in the Provincial 50-Over Challenge and the Provincial T20 Challenge. Lungameni's international debut came in April 2016, when he played in an ICC Intercontinental Cup match against Afghanistan. Outside of playing cricket, he works as Cricket Namibia's head groundsman, having replaced Wynand Louw in the position. Lungameni is one of the few black players to play at a high level in Namibia.
