"James of Londolozi: Othawa subs no, but Matimba male was on Londolozi about 2 days ago. Not seen since."
From FB, sounds like hes pushing into some dangerous areas.

One of the Matimba males was called Shaka Matimba but I am confused which one it is. Was it another name for Ndunha or one of the other 3 Northern Matimbas?

No, Ndhunha was a non-related male that joined the Matimba's natal pride as a cub. Shaka was another male lion also referred to as Blue Eyed Matimba.

Just at the crossroad with the road to Tamboti, we saw two male Lions (probably brothers) hunting a young Buffalo. One of the brothers remained lying down, leaving the other dragging the Buffalo to the shade. But he then joined him to eat. Images and text by Dindingwe, June, 2013

They sired offspring in Torchwood pride by themselves in early 2014, 4 males in that litter, we only know of 1 thats alive.

Unfortunately, that's not at all unusual. About 1 in 8 male lions make it to maturity. So, with at least one alive, that's pretty decent, a 25% survival rate for that litter.

Any word on HB lately?

Nothing sadly, he was last seen around the 16th in Londolozi.
