That was the last litter where the timeline would match of his rendezvous with an Mbiri lioness. The middle litter (I call the cousins) was born in December. Way beyond the timeline to match.100% Accurate and spot on.
RE: Lions of Manyeleti - Mabingilane - 08-15-2022
I need some help because this is driving me crazy. I always thought Solo's Mother was another youmg Mbiri female, not the same as Kupona's Mother.
So is it definitely Kupona's Mother who is Solo's Mother? I have my doubts because Solo looks to be born around Late March or Early April. I believe Kupona went missing at the end if February and around the Start of March, his Mother was seen "calling for him". (If Virtual Safari episodes are posted very soon after filming) it does not make sense! Gestation period is at least 3 Months. If she mated with a Tintswalo male after losing Kupona in March, then Solo would be born in Late June. He is not that young.

I have pictures of Kuponas mother but haven’t done any comparisons with the mother they said was her in the recent video. I need to do that to confirm if we’re right or they are hehe.
RE: Lions of Manyeleti - criollo2mil - 08-15-2022
Screen shots of the next Tintswalo Vistula Safari. They discuss the complicated dynamics currently in the Mbiri Pride.
They intimate the guides have said that Mandevu and Lambile have been fighting w Ncila as well as the lionesses.
Lambile shows signs of facial scarring but nothing on Mandevu
They also discuss the three litters of cubs (they’re still saying it’s Kupona’s mother with solo)
i found the statements about the cubs quite baffling. more confusing. They say the middle litter is about 4 months old and solo about a month younger…but I thought Mrisho had always said the middle litter were born in December? Also, how is that the case when we saw solo in May? When the middle (cousins) were already about 6 months old? I’m now more confused. So can anyone maybe clarify for me….am I mistaken and have all my notes screwed up?
For some reason, I feel like this is an OLD sighting and recording they’re just releasing. The Orpen cubs were born in February of 2021, makes them 20 months old, yet he says ‘ a year and a bit’ Idk. I just wonder. Hmmmm
Any thoughts please.

Timeline just doesn’t match for Kupona’s mother to have a (let’s say 3 month old cub).
21 Feb - Tintswalo safari video shows Kupona but he looked very weak and frail
10 March - Kupona’s mother seen contact calling, no Kupona
- 31 May - Solo Mother is seen with solo for first time And he looks to be at least 4-6 weeks? Photo shared by @Tonpa above.
So how does Kupona mother get pregnant in this time to have a cub? Not possible right?
I know the video release dates are not alway consistent. But even the most liberal estimates would make her being the mother quite far fetched?

Just came to post this same vid. Guide giving possible future options for Ncile', one being that he might leave, and go try to challenge Red Road.
For me, anything short of his returning to the coalition and pride would be tragic, given the man-made impetus behind the entire situation.
