Indeed there are evidence and photos when the Mantimahle coalition caught the Sparta male and a few days later he was found dead by Eckson Sithole.

The two Mantimahle boys who were spotted on KK in December 2016, the 2th Mantimahle also named as (Honest face) and the 3th Mantimahle also called (Orange mane) are most likely the ones who caught and killed to the young Sparta/eyrefield male at Kirkman's Kamp

disappeared nobody knows where are they
RE: Coalitions of Kruger National Park - Spalea - 09-11-2020
Singita: " The Kumana Male was originally part of a coalition of three adult brothers, although two of the three are now presumed dead as they have not been seen in months. The remaining male is known for his tell-tale drop-lip and handsome red and gold mane (his brothers had black manes).
Prior to establishing a territory around Kumana Dam, they were previously known as the Hilda’s Rock or Skukuza Males, having been raised by the Hilda’s Rock lionesses in the Lion Sands area. They were first sighted on the Singita concession in July 2018, where the Kumana male has remained ever since. He was recently seen a few times in the company of the Shishangaan females and their cubs and is frequently heard roaring during the night.

SUPPORTING LION CONSERVATION
Worldwide awareness events like today’s World Lion Day serve to highlight the need for sustainable solutions to the challenges facing the survival of lions in the wild, and to help to spread the word about the importance and urgency of their protection.
We are helping to raise money for the Lion Recovery Fund so that they can continue their essential work as the largest funder of lion-specific conservation work in the world. Please take a moment to visit the link in our bio and consider making a donation in any amount directly to the Lion Recovery Fund, supporting the future of lions in Africa.
100% of the money donated to the LRF goes directly to projects on the ground. The organisation takes no admin or operational fees, which means your contribution is deployed where it’s needed most – straight to the wilderness."
RE: Coalitions of Kruger National Park - Spalea - 09-11-2020
Singita: " The Shishangaan Males are presently a coalition of three adult male lions. The oldest of them, referred to as Xihamham, or the “Grumpy Male”, has the most developed mane of the three and has been known to associate with the Mananga Pride and the Mountain Pride.
They are fairly advanced in age for lions, at roughly 11 to 15 years old, and have been seen less and less frequently together in recent times. Changing lion dynamics on the concession, specifically an increase in the number of sub-adult males roaming the area, will probably cause some shifts in territory and dominance – something our team will keep a close eye on for the remainder of this year. "
