It was from Australia's Gold Coast that Rasta Rasivhenge not so long ago was asked to return and resume a refereeing career in South Africa he had seemingly given up on. Reabsorbed into the system, Rasivhenge will be in the City of Gold on Saturday when he takes charge of the Currie Cup final to put his exile well and truly behind him.He will become the first black African to referee a Currie Cup final in the 123-year history of the tournament, when the Golden Lions host Western Province at Ellis Park.It is quite a turnaround, considering Rasivhenge departed for Queensland last November to be with his physiotherapist girlfriend, with the strong possibility of settling there permanently.Although he is contractually precluded from talking about it, Rasivhenge's motives for moving to Australia were also work related. His relationship with former manager of referees Andre Watson was, let's say, strained.In perennial fear of bad PR, the South African Rugby Union asked him to return, which is understandable given the dearth of black referees.Even with some of the country's top whistlemen at the World Cup, few would have predicted Rasivhenge's rise in the 15-man game to be this rapid, given his well defined background in Sevens."It is massive for me," said Rasivhenge. "It is something that can help change the face of refereeing. You give hope to other people so that they can also attain their hopes and dreams. It is something special."The Currie Cup has been quite phenomenal. It is getting younger players. That brings a lot of depth for the country."..
