Afcon 2019: Winning is important but Baxter won't disrespect Bafana Bafana's opponents Namibia

While South Africa might be considered favourites on paper as they prepare for their 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) showdown with Namibia on Friday night, head coach Stuart Baxter remains wary of his side’s opponents.

After Bafana Bafana opened their campaign with defeat to Ivory Coast, the clash set for Cairo’s Al Salam Stadium has become a must-win.

However, despite being confident, the Bafana mentor has urged his team not to disrespect their Southern African neighbours, who will also be on the lookout for three points after losing their Group D opener to Morocco.
