Zimbabwe was absent from the Games in 1988 and 1992, returning in 1996 with a two-man delegation, and has competed at every edition of the Summer Paralympics since then.

Zimbabwe's first gold medal was won by Elliot Mujaji in 2000, in the 100m sprint (T46 category).

Mujaji won Zimbabwe's second (and most recent) Paralympic gold medal in the same event four years later.

Prior to this, "the government provided financial aid during the Paralympic Games, [but] there was no co-ordinated mechanism to maintain athletes' momentum between the Games", and athletes "had to find their own sponsor, coach and manager who would finance the training, travelling and their participation at competitions".
