He did not place high enough on the IFP's national list to be able to be re-elected in the 2014 general election. IFP MP Mario Oriani-Ambrosini died on 16 August 2014 and the party named Msimang as his successor. He was sworn in on 23 August and later retired as an MP on 1 November 2017.[3]

He returned to Parliament following the 2019 general election.[4]
