If we talk about similaritis then when I see this guy I am thinking about Tinyo Birmingham.

Same here! I thought the sadly departed Nkuhuma boy scar lip looked liked Tinyo. Red roads son has a similar lip and the Nharu elder lionesses are sisters to Tinyo and the other Birminghams.

I never but two and two together before but yes 100% they both look a bit like Tinyo like k5 also they all have that tinyo look!

Mongawanes came to my mind immediately after seeing Mandevu injured, I'll comment on that later, but for now, my goodness, where's Nzuri?? I knew it was a bad move hanging out with what seemed to be the Skorro females in Orpen, there was no way that would end well, this new Titnswalo coalition wasn't ready for such a thing, they should have chilled in their territory with the Mbiri pride until their bond was strong enough and Nzuri was at least 4,5yo, ideally 5.

Now I can only hope Nzuri is fine and he can rejoin Mandevu, and that Mandevu's injuries aren't serious.

This is Torchwood Mongawane this month:

Quite a few scars but it was said he already had them at the beginning of the month, before Mandevu and Nzuri were with the Skorro pride on the 14th.

I didn't thought it could have been Mbiris since the context of Tintswalos with Skorros, but I'm not 100% sure naymore. Mandevu was photographed in Ngala and according to Ngala, the Mbiris are spending more time there than they have ever before after making the Mabotlel pride their main pride.

@Lion1  where did you see Scar injured?

Shaka with Mabotlel pride in Ngala today:



Black and white photo doesn't help but I'm not sure he has any potential new scars, his face was always a mess. His body has some scratches but it is probably nothing/unrelated to fights.

Both Mbiris patrolling today, Ngala as well:



Are these the injuries you're talking about? He does have some recent light wounds on his nose/face, but it could just be some slaps he got at the dinner table, or fighting over the cubless Mabotlel female.

could be them or even Mongawanes. 
Torchwood male had some scratches over his face a few days ago. 

I wouldn't rule out Red Road, but seeing his skinny hindquarters looking a bit unnatural, it does seem more like a two males business thought.

Tintswalo territory is south of Ngala where Mandevu was found. Then south of Tintswalo's territory, is RR's territory in central Manyeleti.

I doubt Mandevu would flee RR by going into Mbiri males' territory in the north, I also doubt RR would beat him so badly he'd end up in this situation when even when RR had him in a perfect position years ago, he only managed to inflict superficial injuries. Besides, I doubt RR would chase him all the way into Ngala, I doubt RR would even entertain such things when he knows Mandevu is in a 2 lion coalition.

By the degree of inflammation and oozing in it's eye looks like the wound was inflicted more than 24-48 hrs ago, which is consistent with Mandevu's emaciated state, probably because of his poor condition he has eaten very little in several days.

I tend to think that Nzuri will be fine, it takes at least one large male to generate that level of damage to Mandevu.... and it would take at least two other large males to cause serious damage to a healthy and strong young male like Nzuri!

Nzuri is a strong young male but he is still young. One large prime male could do some serious damage to him if he's not careful and two males would likely kill him. Hopefully he's managed to stay under the radar of other males (except Mandevu of course)

I saw a video on tik tok claiming recent of scar mibiri with a wound below his right eye and limping on his front right paw.

Monwana male seen by Vestment Mfumo
Last week i had seen a couple of IG Stories, location marked as Manyeleti, with i think 3 Monwana males, including one of the older orange eyed, the one injured at the back legs and the youngest that went to Sabi Sands.
This is the same that was injured in the back legs.
