The crisis was characterised by unprecedented rates of inflation which were exacerbated by political instability and economic sanctions. The economic challenges led to severe brain drain of Zimbabwe health professionals. The elements of a previously well maintained health care system severely deteriorated. Community health was therefore seriously compromised. Now that Zimbabwe seem to be on the recovery path this article critiques, reviews and justifies the potential contribution which sport and physical activity can make towards the achievement of community healthy objectives in Zimbabwe in line with millennium development goal number six.
