Controversial Zimbabwean referee, Thomas Kusosa, the assistant refereee who was at the centre of the abandoned match between Highlanders and Dynamos this season, is one of a panel of match officials for the Cosafa tournament in South Africa.
Referee Philani Ncube, who was also in charge of that game, has also been appointed to be part of the referees at the Cosafa tournament.
"They two are doing well on the international scene no wonder why the Cosafa Referees Committee appointed them,'' said Zifa referees chief Gladmore Muzambi.
"We hope they will go and represent us well throughout the tournament.''
Kusosa is a member of the Fifa panel and is alleged to have impressed on monthly progressive tests from Fifa meant to gauge the level of interpretation of the Laws of the Game.
The tests include analysis of match situations, Laws of the Game trivia and offside.
