In the 2012, he and Sizanani where starting to establishing themselves around Tintswalo and had Koppies pride under their control, but not for long, 6 Matimbas came in that area and killed this young male, while Sizanani without his brother, retreat south..

" limping Nkuhuma young male, in 2011 after a fight with 4 young Selati males"

Where did you get info they fought Salatis? Didn't you confuse them with Othawas as Othawa males clashed with Nkuchuma males (Sizananis) in 2011?

Some litters are born in that period, as we seen young cubs in late 2017 :

Nharu/Tumbelas are pretty much born around the same time, in different litters, but 1 year before:

That's really very wrong information and misleaning that comes from Mapogo page then.
This was after that both males clashed with the Othawa males.

Odd that you bring up Sizanani, as this just popped up in my YT feed. It is a video about the killing of Blondie (Dozie's partner) and the destruction done to the Nkahuma Pride by the Mapogos. Ignore the fight video, which purports to show the fight with Blondie, they actually used the video of KT and the Majins for that (I hate it when they do that). However, there is some decent video of Blondie, and at the end of the video some really good history of lion dynamics at that time, including video of a young Sizanani.

This male is very similar to 1 of the Tumbela males, Scorro Jr.. Both have that Scorro look..
Also he remainds me a lot of young Tinyo, his uncle..

They really are so similar to each-other

Close up shot of a young Mbiri Male at Manyeleti. Not to be confused with the two older Mbiri Males sired by Matimbas. The 3 Mbiri Males around 3 to 4 years old were seen recently at Manyeleti in company with a Nharu Male. The 4 males look big and in great shape, had a successful buffalo kill recently.

I've posted few days ago post about Mbiris and Nharus age..

First Mbiri litter was seen on 6.January 2017. as a few weeks old cubs..


RE: Lions of Manyeleti - Timbavati - 10-26-2020

Okay. Then my bad.
This means that they took-over the Mbiri pride in April 2016 and started to mated a couple of months later.

Yea, after all Nharu lionesses gave birth, they moved to Mbiri's.
