They call them Sweni males (because they where seen near Sweni) , i personally call them Southern Sweni, to not confuse them with 3 Sweni Pride males, who are further north. These 2 parties are unrelated.

Interesting, yeah have had some great interactions with the 3 Sweni males up on the s126. Any info on where these Southern Sweni males came from, father, etc.?

Their territory is not far away, so he prob roamed there.

Its not unusal for males to roam on outskirts of their or slightly into neighboring coalition territory, especially if neighbours are not near atm.

If the videos posted by the guy behind the Kruger Safari and Beyond YouTube page are from footage he's taken recently, Tank has been seen with the two other Gomandwanes on several occasions within the past few weeks. I've asked around about him (Tank) but haven't heard anything definitive on him yet.
