I wonder if he is still alive somewhere... He was seen with 2 young Fourways, (Matshapiris sons) around H10/s128 in 2019, but lately only 1 Fourways was seen around that area..

Today I have find a image of this Torchwood male. He was really looking awesome. I didn't post the image yet because I want know when and in which area was taken. If I get some good information about him today I'll post immediately

An old photo of the Torchwood male in KNP! He was recently spotted (three months ago) with the Fourways males close to Leeupan area. He's son of the legend and powerful Hairy belly Matimba.

He was such an unique looking lion, that look says it all..Im the king here, and theres nobody who would dare to challenge me.. 

Hope the 2 young males from Scorro Breakeaway can male it, younger one looks exactly like Junior.

Indeed! That's a very great portrait,Junior was looking very imposing in this picture, I've see some another good photos from Armand Grobler. I'll share some of those images now.
Note: I also hope the Skorro boys will make it, They're Orpen males (JR) The younger one looks exactly as Junior, Meanwhile, The older Skorro sub-adult male as his partner, Buddy.

Is it confirmed that these cubs were sired by Ginger? Couldn't Hairy Belly be their father as well?

Maybe, Ginger spent much time with Sassy and mated with her as well. As HB did on his moment.

HB by the time those subs were sired was in very bad shape and he was very little time seen with Sassy. He was seen with her tho and probably mated with her as well. Ginger however spent and mated with Sassy much more and therefore there are much greater chances that he is the father althrough they are not 100%.
