Baxter was expected to be unveiled as the new Bafana Bafana after SuperSport United management gave the South African Football Association (Safa) permission to speak to the English mentor.
Ahead of their game with cross-town rival Mamelodi Sundowns, Letsholonyane down played the impact the uncertainty had on the team.
“I don’t think that has affected us,” Letsholonyane told the media.
“As far as I know he is still with us. Whatever happens after the season is his decision,” he added.
“We are not reading too much into Downs’ poor form. This is the derby. They are the favourites but we are going for the three points.”
