The Zimbabwean fan is expected to travel to Durban to watch the match scheduled for 20 December at the Moses Mabhida Stadium.
“I am so honoured. Clive Barker is a legend, the only coach to win a major trophy with Bafana Bafana, he is an icon and from childhood I used to have a collection of his posters,” Zhakata told the Chronicle.
“I never knew one day I was going to be invited to his honorary event. I am humbled by the recognition and l am looking forward to a great time in Durban.”
Zhakata made headlines hitch-hiked from Cape Town to Cairo to watch the 2019 Afcon in Egypt in June and received VIP treatment from Caf for making the trip.
