They were seen moving on S125 near S36. Big on Wild had also seen them last year on the H1-3 near the S125 junction

"On the 10th of September 2020 i  found one of the Mpondo males around S113 area in the Kruger National Park. He really didn't look good, although he had a full belly he could hardly walk, he was thin, his back legs were swollen and he really struggled to walk. I felt really sorry for him and i thought the worst would happen very soon.
On the 20th of October i found him again further south and although he looked weak still this time he was looking much better. He could walk much better.
Yesterday i believe my Brother Louis Strauss from Jock Safari saw him again and in the video he looks so much better. Indeed these animals are very resilient and can survive the most difficult times."

Thats a down side of big coalitions, they control vast territory and they split within few pride, so some males are mostly on their own and valnuarble..

I think this male and oldest Mpondo are mostly seen on their own..
