Coach Stuart Baxter has admitted that South Africa is in a tough group following the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) draw which was conducted in Cairo on Friday night.
Bafana Bafana are in Group D alongside neighbours Namibia and two former African champions in Morocco and Cote d'Ivoire.
While a section of South African football fans has already written Bafana off even before the start of the tournament in June, Baxter feels his team has done well against the so-called big teams, drawing positives from what has been deemed as the group death by many.
