He made it clear that their objective is to maintaintheir position at the top of the group and avoidslipping from the summit.
Bafana currently lead Group C with six points fromtheir opening two matches.
“I think the most important points is that in Matchday 6, you must remain where you are now [top],” said Mosimane.
“The rest don’t count that much, what’s important is to stay there. We have an opportunity because we are there now.
“So, it’s in our hands to make sure that we stay there, but the road to travel to Matchday 6 is a long, long way.
“There’s going to be Guinea that we have to play away, there’s back-to-back of Kenya. So you need to be very careful because Kenya lost [only] 1-0 to full strength Guinea in Guinea.”
