In a way it's fitting that he's the last man standing isn't it.

Majingilane Update:
Today, 'Dark Mane' was observed in the Chitwa Chitwa / Djuma Lodge area and from the images that were broadcast on 'Safari Live', he appears to be quite frail.
Considering that this Majestic King is upwards of 14 years old, it may not be long before we lose him and his other coalition partners.
As sad and tragic as it is to see the end of their reign as mighty rulers of their domain, we'll remember this powerful coalition for a long time.
Perhaps we can find comfort knowing that their spirit and influence will be felt for generations in lion prides and coalitions.
We'll update as we learn more.

Amayas , Musa15 yes looks like the leaders were the last survivors of both coalitions. Makulu and DM. Is very sad that now this page of the majingilane lions will not have much more updates as in the past. The coalition is ending forever and no more new histories will be told here with the time. I hope bboys arrived in the west to finished the sad emptyness of the majingilanes end.

I hope the BBoys come later. The Mhangenis and Othawa boy need more time.

Mak wasn't the leader when they were dispelled by the Selati's, T was. Mak was once the leader, yes, but that changed. He was the oldest and lived the longest. The final Mapogo leader went down with his ship.

Does anyone know if their name means something or if it was just coined?

The name 'Majingilane' was coined with reference to watchmen who patrol the night, marching with intent, never altering their course.

I read that before but didn't really understand. Does the word somehow mean 'watchmen who patrol...' or is it just a random set of syllables?

I think it has to mean that in some native language, although I've never seen it referenced to a certain language, Londolozi didn't say and I haven't seen it explained in the other blogs.
As a reference for this kind of naming, look at the names of the Birmingham males, all have some meaning in that native language.
Either way, the name Majingilane is cool.

I think the Birmingham's (their natal pride) takes their name from the farm(named Birmingham) near the southern end of Timbavati reserve. Not sure if it has some meaning in the native language though or if it's just simply taken from the UK city.

Nsuku, Nhenha, Tinyo and Mfumo are their individual names which have meaning in Tsonga
RE: History most brutal killers, the Majingilane Male Lions - T Rabbit - 04-09-2018
We were the marchers. Our advance was imposing and determined. That's why they call us that. We found this land a long time ago. We were greeted in the most hostile way. The warriors of the mlowathi massacred our brother in the dawn light.
But we were the night walkers. imposing advance in the search of our brother. We revenge him eating the heart of the assassin stare. The mohawk warrior gave us the trail to the treasures of sabi sands and we started our numerous offspring
shrouded by the darkness of night we destroyd many enemies in our imposing march. we were like ghost in the landscape. Patrolling the dark nights; marching with intent and chasing all those unwanted into the shadows…those that do not run were removed and their hearts eaten. I am the last survivor of the majingilanes

A little bit of a throwback with some of the lads and the then young Kambula/Ntsevu girls and the older Mangheni males.
Credits to Dylan Brandt, Singita Sabi Sand, February 2014.
The Manghene pride have been spending quality time on Singita with the males in tow. What a sight to see the entire pride with the males all walking down the road toward us.

I was just reading a study on masculinity and manhood rites of passage, and a paragraph took my attention, and made me think of the lads.
Becoming a Man: By William Buckner.
In his book How Can I Get Through To You? (2002), author Terrence Real describes visiting a remote village of Maasai pastoralists in Tanzania. Real asked the village elders (all male) what makes a good warrior and a good man. After a vibrant discussion, one of the oldest males stood up and told Real;
I refuse to tell you what makes a good morani [warrior]. But I will tell you what makes a great morani. When the moment calls for fierceness a good morani is very ferocious. And when the moment calls for kindness, a good morani is utterly tender. Now, what makes a great morani is knowing which moment is which! (Real, 64)
