Having already sewn up the series by winning the first two games by 93 runs and 61 runs, the Proteas will offer the pair an opportunity to impress as they consider their squad options for next year's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
While Rossouw will come in for Hashim Amla, who has returned to South Africa for a short period of rest before next week's triangular series against Zimbabwe and Australia in Harare, Shezi will replace one of the seamers from the first two matches.
"There's lots for them to gain, I think," Proteas captain AB de Villiers said. "They've played a lot of cricket of late so they're all in decent form.
"The fact that they're here means that they're in good form so I don't think that there will be too much pressure - I'll speak to them and try and free them up a little so they can express their talent."
Both Rossouw and Shezi came into the South African squad on the back of excellent showings with the A side in Australia recently.
While the presence of two debutants in the South African side will give Zimbabwe hope that they could be more competitive on Thursday, the hosts know that they must show marked improvement with the bat.
