I have to say that sometimes the assistant is there, but not there to you guys. But Molefi has been great for me when we are in camp. We discuss things, he does not just listen and say 'yes'. We try very much to speak the same language with the players, even though his language is a little bit difficult for me to understand sometimes, but he has been brilliant and he will continue."   Read: Big Bucks – How Much AFCON Participation Is Worth Baxter went on to explain the rest of his team saying, "We've got Josh Smith as the physical coach and Andre Arendse as the goalkeeper coach.
