South Avocas are now the dominant males of Sand River Pride. (Kirkman's Kamp) 

"A new beginning - again - for the Sand River Pride.
Over the past 4 years, the Sand River Pride has been dominated by 3 different coalitions of male lions.
Life is not easy for lions in the wild - each time male lions take the pride over, they kill cubs and chase away the remaining sub-adult lions, leaving only adult lionesses and so the pride struggles to grow in size.
The Sand River Pride has been diminished from 11 lions to just 2 adult females.
However, under the dominance of the Avoca males, one of the lionesses has just had a litter of 3 (maybe 4) cubs and for the first time in 3 years the Sand River Pride have moved their den site back onto our concession.
We hope the future is bright for this pride of lions." by: Josh van der Ploeg, Matt Smith and Joel Hlatshwayo 06-02-2020

With Nkuhumas and his 2 brothers hanging further south, it seems that he and Talamatis moved into Nkuhumas former core territory on Djuma. Reply

Eye to Eye with the dominant Southern Avoca male. The two Southern Avoca males are currently spending majority of their time with the Sand River pride in the kruger National Park near Rhino Post.
