Yes, I have been told by guides of N'semani Dam that these young males are the sons of Senior Mbiri male and Rockfig male. They were seen hanging around N'semani Dam. Here is another photo of one of the N'semani males

The lions on the video are Tintswalo males, not Mayambula males, through descrition under the video is intresting and one can wander how much of this is true:

The Mayambula Male Lion Coalition (6) originally controlled the area around Bobbejaankrans. One male lion was killed by a Buffalo in 2023. Three brothers went south-east and two brothers went west closer to the Orpen area.
Watch this beautiful Lion sighting in Kruger National Park South Africa of the Two Mayambula Brothers that went west.

Its official. The Mayambula Male Lions have taken over the Sweni Lion Pride.
We filmed this Mayambula male with two young Sweni Lionesses on the S126 while the other four brothers were roaring close-by out of camera range.

So yeah, one more recent sighting of all 6 males, recent in the sense we've not seen photos or videos of all 6 in a long long time to a point we thought one was dead, but this person has seen all 6 five months ago, and also there were sighting of all 6 last month.

This is great for the Mbiri legacy, all their Mayambula sons and daughters alive!
