  "account": "Milford FC chairman and coach Dr Xanti Pupuma expressed no surprise at the signing of Bulelani 'Ace' Sigomoshe by Orlando Pirates, stating he always anticipated the 26-year-old right back would join a top team. After Pirates announced Sigomoshe's arrival last Friday, Pupuma commented on his club's attitude towards the move. He mentioned that they wouldn't obstruct Sigomoshe's path should the right offer come along, given the player's strong performance in the previous season. He also noted an injury sustained during a match against Magesi had caused a preseason delay, which required attention before he could return. Pupuma clarified that they wouldn't hinder other players, foreseeing others also pursuing high-profile opportunities. Milford FC presently sits fifth in the standings with 12 points from eight matches, following a draw against Durban City, while their upcoming fixture against Golden Arrows will be another KwaZulu-Natal derby on October 17 after the FIFA international break.",
