The article looks at the scope and challenges in research and teaching in computational physics in Africa. It is seen that the implementation of computational physics programmes in the majority of the African countries is facing difficulties due to poor economies. This difficulty is further compounded due to fast advancements of hardware and software. As a possible solution, the establishment of a resource centre at an international organization along with regional centres, with international contributions is suggested. It is seen that computational physics programmes have a tremendous scope for development in Africa and contribute to the globalization of research and teaching.
