Lions of Sabi Sands

[Duco Ndona]

I think a lot of those scenarios are just pipedreams to save Nhenha.

The Mhangeni pride has cubs to protect and are doing quite well in the circumstances. Aslong that cub is alive, they wont let anyone near. Nhenha if he weret o take over would just kill that cub, father some new cubs, but likely wont last long enough to protect them. It wiould be a huge setback for the pride.

The Nkuhuma male is slowly trying to gain he Mhangeni trust. Its not likely he would like Nhenha just popping up. He would rather see him as a rival.

His sons would be a better option, but they are just starting out their nomadic life. We dont know of Nhenha is able to keep up with them. They already seem sceptical of the idea of draging pops along, so if he cant help they will likely just abandon him. 

Them joining up and taking back Kambulas could be oroblematic for those aswell. As it means most of the viable mates will be related.

Ultimately  it may just be that his chapter in Sabi Sands is complete. Reply
