So are these boys challenging Mohawk/ nkuhuma and ndhzenhas at same time??
As @Duco Ndona said, for the couple of months now BDM's hang in that area between Ndhzengas and Mohawks "former" territory, so they are exploring what they can do here, in all directions (which prides/females they can aquire in the area).
Mohawk showed little to no resistence in the past few months (smart move, as he cant win 1 vs 2) and he in now retreating on every sight of BDM's, who freely roam his area, Mohawk is basically semi-nomad now, still hangs in his "territory" , but holds no power against BDM's.
Unlike Mohawk, Ndhzengas are showing resistence towards BDM's on their attempts to gain more land and aquire their Kambula females.
I made an map for example what is going on :

BD's are pretty much trying to establish themselves between 2 territories.
They are finding no resistance in Mohawks territory, but problem is that there is no avaiable females there, as Nkuhuma females with cubs are avoiding them (there was some report that Chela was once seen with them, but thats about it what they gained in that area for now).
Thats the reason why they are trying their luck south, to see if there is some females, looks like it was worth as they where seen with K6 infertile female, which might attract them towards south.

And then north of there is S8 and the Talamati's right? It seems like the key to the last weeks uptick in drama is the K6 female. I guess it matters how much the N'Was care about her wanderings.

Yea, this is approx. made for example.

One of the reason yes, as she was doing it before which led to clashes.
Althrough some of these clashes would happen regardless of her, but her mating with neigbouring coalitions definetly "helps" to attract these coalitions further and faster towards her pride/territory.
RE: N'waswitshaka males - RookiePundit - 03-26-2023
For sure K6 might gave them confidence stemming from what such a female behaviour often signals - among other reasons, females looking for males with good prospect for future and would "jump ship" if they feels like changiong of the guard is bound to happen (like par of Talamati wandered off to S8 for example) or at least try to make promising males nearby believe the next litter might be theirs. Hard to tell how much can males instinctively feels this, but I would bet they get an extra confidence boost from being sought for like that upon confidence fomr being "in possesion" of a female. Then K6 is special and mates around and thus it could be Black Dams got bigger confidence boost than they should reading her behaviour wrong (as an instictive confirmation they are viewed as serious contenders, while she just seek any males sticking nearby long enough) and prompt to act (overconfidently all of a sudden) like they did. With chance of luck (of a Ndzhenga male being found and him being jsut one thre atm) being the key thing above anything else as usual ofc.

All 3 nwaswitshaka boys.
RE: N'waswitshaka males - Mwk85 - 03-27-2023
Post states that they crossed over into Mala Mala from Londolozi after hearing a roar. No indication on whom it was roaring.

So, only 2 again? Looks like Amahle and Orange Eyes? Where's Gore? hmm... I really would like to see these 3 stay together.

Gore is with them as well. He can be seen bringing up the rear in the second clip while they're walking down the road and he's seen again in the last clip of the video.

Chaos and Drama abound here lately.
RE: N'waswitshaka males - Tr1x24 - 03-27-2023
People where saying that Gore's injury is getting bigger and worse with time, that is geting out more, but as we see here on most recent footage, it isnt the case as its quite small this time around:

If this is his intestine, then size prob depends on how much food is in it.

You get used to it, that is the one thing that seems certain, and never ending, when following these creatures.

I still struggle to fathom how it is even possible for him to have an internal organ, hanging on the outside of his body, resting in the dirt or even submerged in river water at times, and he has had this condition for years now. It is remarkable for sure.
