Even through photo apparantly is old, Mhangeni pride indeed is moving close to Othawa pride since Othawa male passed away. Othawa pride has however Tumbela males to protect them so no need to worry about Othawas.
Styx Pride lionesses were seen yesterday afternoon, very focused on the sounds of lions calling in the distance. Earlier today in the morning, they seemed very interested in the contents within a termite mound. It was not long before one lioness grabbed a warthog from the mound and moved off quickly with her prize. A few seconds later, another warthog ran out of the same termite mound causing them to chase after it as well. The females and their seven cubs were left to enjoy the two warthogs that they had caught.

According to WE, one of Nk male subadults has injured paw and that they have been trying to find him. His tracks are showing him dragging it with blood on them.
Update: WE guides have seen a picture of the young male with a severe injury to his leg, caused by the buffalo hunt they were involved in. They aren't sure if that leg will heal.

Lauren on WildEarth show today. She mentioned she and other guides had seen a picture of that male. No further information at the present. I really hope he will make a full recovery soon, though.
We found the Xhumungwe lioness and her cub feeding on a kill. Sadly the Xhumungwe's pride has all but died out, but hopefully she will get her cub to adulthood, and they can start to rebuild the pride together.

We all thaugt that we will see clash between Styx/NK vs PC boys for Mhangenis and Singita, but we might actually see Tumbelas vs PC boys..
This will be huge test for Tumbelas, if they cant defend their territory and pride against 2 young and inexperienced males, then their chances to succeed as dominant males in the long run is grim..

We could see even both. Western sector is not that big that it could not be conquered by single coalition.
The Tumbellas are sticking to the Othawa pride a lot. So i think 3 males and 3 females may be too much for the PCM to take on if they are already struggling against Nym and Sym. That the Othawas were seen at that spot just after PCM indicates that they are aware of them.
With 4 coalitions and 3 prides reported to be in the west now. Thats a lot of lions that can potentially run in eachother.
I do wonder what'll happen if they come across the sick tumbela, he's not with his brothers recently. The Tumbelas as a coalition don't seem to stick together that much tbh, but that's just probably a consequence of their health issues
