5th was born around 2007 in Vurhami Pride, i think thats too early to be sired by old Gomondwanes and is he related to this current Vurhami/H4 male? :

This 2 brutes where born in Jock Pride around 2011, after Old Jock and his 5 sons was ousted, so this 2 are sired by 4 Mlambane males..

This 2 brothers where born around 2011 in Lukimbi pride, its hard to find who sired them because Lukimbi dont name their lions for some reason..

But i found that from 2010 there where 6 new lions in that area, and later on in 2012/13 there where sightings of 4,5 of them regulary.. So i assume those lions might be old Gomondwane males, especially because 1 male had blind eye, just as 1 of the Gomondwanes:

MAJESTIC KING

MPONDO MALE
5TH MALE aka BRANDED MALE-Legend
Yesterday morning the team found the remains of a male lion,it was only a 50 meters away from where the oldest and injured MPONDO had been laying for a few days(last tuesday).
The vultures and hyenas made good work at cleaning the carcass, so we are unable to identify with absolute confidence, but are assuming that the remains are of the older 'BRANDED' MPONDO MALE.

NOTE
?
He was the Solo Male who used to stay with the pride and was not seen with other 4 brothers on patrol.He was the oldest among other 4 males and he was father of ew cubs in his pride recently.

He was engaged in a fight with other males a week ago probably with the 3 MJEJANE MALES or the 4 S26 MALES.Not sure of his killer.He was injured mainly on his back and leg and yesterday a carcass was found which is presumed to be his carcass.

Once a mighty force of 5 males now probably is going down to 3 because BLONDE the smallest male among the remaining 4 has TB and in very bad shape.

5th isn’t that old. He was born 2009 vurhami pride had to be gomondwanes he shares too many similarities to them and the Shishangeni. Two jock pride ones were Mlambane males. And the Lukimbi pride didn’t used to be in Mjejane right they moved their 2015. But were ruled by the two old Lukimbi males probably the fathers of the two Lukimbi. They vanished 2017 at 12 years old. Then two croc bridge males ruled the pride for a year before 3 year old Mjejane males came in 2018. That s28 male was probably sired by old gomondwanes too
