UMzantsi Afrika ukhe phantsi isitya sigcwele izihlandlo ezibini kwiCape Verde kwimidlalo ehlakulela indebe yehlabathi.
Kwiveki ephelileyo iBafana Bafana ibethwe ngo’1-0, kule veki yaphindwa ngo’2-1 phambi kwabalandeli bayo eMoses Mabhida Stadium ngoLwesithathu.
Ngoku indlela yeBafana Bafana eya kwi-2018 FIFA World Cup emva kokungakwazi ukuqokelela amanqaku kule midlalo idlulileyo.
UMzantsi Afrika uhamba emva, usekelwe yiSenegal kuGroup D – kanti iBurkina Faso neCape Verde ebisemva phambi kokubetha iBafana Bafana – zihleli phezulu ngokulandelelana.
UBaxter uyayiqonda ukuba uMzantsi ungaphoswa yindebe yehlabathi kwakhona – eyona nto ayiqeshelweyo yiSafa.
“Ndikhathazeke kakhulu. Njengomntu osebenza ngokuzimisela nolithandayo eli lizwe ndiphoxeke gqithi. Ngoku sixhomekeke kwiziphumo zamanye amazwe – izandla zethu zibambekile. Kodwa nangona kunjalo, kufuneka sizame kwimidlalo yethu ezayo. Ndiyayazi ibhola inezimanga – izinto zingaguquka – kodwa andingetsho ukuba sizakuya kwindebe yehlabathi,” utshilo uBaxter.
