On the 4th December 2008, Penda made his debut for Namibia in a win over neighbours Botswana during the youth games.
In February 2009, a few months after his National Team debut, Penda joined the Civis Suns.
Penda received limited minutes at Civics which resulted in him recording less than 2 points a game in ten matches played .
In February 2010, Penda joined the Polytechnic Blues and was voted as team captain in the same month.
