The Senior Mbiri male has a very resemblance with the Matimba male called Shaka.
Shaka and Ginger were really so similar. perhaps that's is why the Senior Mbiri male also have a kinda look as Ginger at one point

I considered that also, and photo of shaka as sub adult male really looks like Senior Mbiri when he was same age, plus Shaka was oldest after Ndhuna, so it would make sense he is the father. But I saw lot of unique simmilarity to Ginger, thus I still think Ginger, by some chance, may be father of Senior Mbiri. Either way, it seems Senior Mbiri could have lost territory as he was photographed at Kumana dam, which people say, is very far from Nsemani dam area, which is his territory.
