This followed a previous encounter with experienced international referee Rasta Rasivhenge, as KRU continues to invest in match official development.
The program will continue at the Kabeberi7s tournament, set for 15-16 August 2026, where five Rugby Africa officials will join as guests. They will collaborate with Kenyan officials, fostering knowledge sharing and aligning officiating approaches across the National Sevens Circuit. Jacobs also conducted an online workshop for club coaches, focusing on current officiating trends and expectations.
