They didn’t catch them because the Gomondwane booted it. Witnessed by bigonwild he only saw one Gomondwane. and Kerry Kruger pride Safaris saw two Gomondwane. Either way Shishangeni still got it. and Rodney nombekana was there too. This was at Gomondwane apparently after this the shishangenis left and went back to s25 whilst Gomondwane went back to s28. Apparently Tshokwane males are 20kms  away from the their territory now.

With equal numbers i dont see many lions beat these 2 Shishangenis, if any..they are full of confidence, experience and massive in size. 

Are 2 s28 males now nomadic? Gomondwanes took full charge of s28 if im not mistaken..

And that recent fight/chase of s28 males by either Shishangenis or Gomondwanes might also confirm that, aswell as loss of mane on Vurhami male, which might be due to nomadic stress. Reply

@Tr1x24 seems a lot has changed in this area right now. S28 males it’s been hard to know their situation but doesn’t look great for them. I haven’t seen the 4 hippo pools males in a while. Asked big on wild who was there. Said only one has been seen alone, hope they are alright Reply

Hippo Pools where last seen 4-5 months ago close to s26 males territory if im not mistaken, quite northwest of Croc Bridge. 

They are not around Croc Bridge for quite some time now. Few young HP young males that are seen there near pride and Shishangenis are younger generation, not 4 older ones or maybe 1 younger stayed behind. 

Here are the 4 older Hippo Pools young males from around half a year ago :

He is known as Mpondo son, but he is most likely not because of his age, he is too old, so he is more likely sired by either Stolsnek or maybe even Jock males. Reply
