Duni was born in Kibeni village in Mkwajuni. He was educated at Mkwajuni Primary School (1959–65) and at Gamal Abdel Nassar (present-day Beit el Ras) Secondary School (1966–69). He pursued his A-levels at Lumumba Secondary School from 1970 to 1971. He was elected as the chairperson of the Afro-Shirazi Party Youth League at Lumumba College. He then joined the University of Dar es Salaam and graduated with a BSc in education in 1975.
After graduation, he was employed as a teacher. Ismail Jussa was one of his students. In 1978, he left for England to study at the University of Reading (advanced diploma) and later joined the Zanzibar Ministry of Education as a planning officer.
In 1980, Zanzibari President Aboud Jumbe appointed him as the Permanent Secretary of the Planning Ministry and was later promoted as the Executive Secretary of the Planning Commission. He obtained his masters in human resource management from the University of Manchester in 1995.
Following the end of one-party system in the 1990s, Duni joined the opposition Civic United Front party. He was the thrice running mate of the party's perennial candidate Ibrahim Lipumba, in the 1995, 2005 and 2010 presidential elections.
