Yeah, I have also read about a lot of . 
But the mathematics don't go that way. 
In April 2003 two male cubs were born into the Othawa pride. They were sired by the 3 males of the Split Rock coalition (Scar, Tyson & 3rd male) who gave safety and stability. 
In January 2005 thins changed dramatically: The Split Rock males were fighting the Rollercoaster males over months for  dominance of Sparta pride. The Othawa pride was unprotected and on its own. An unknown male took the chance to the lead the pride. Nhlanguleni was first seen in the west around March 2005, he was found in the river mating with one of the Ottawa lionesses, close to Ottawa camp. He was often on his own but started spending more time with one half of the Ottawas after the cubs were born, the other half- 2 lionesses, the 2 young males Stompie and 1eye and a young female stayed away from him. 

The young Othawa males stayed under the protection of their mothers until the arrival of the 6 Mapogo males by beginning of 2006. 

Stompie and 1eye left their natal pride and were now called the Robson males. On September 2006 they tried to take over the Styx pride after killing the pride cubs but failed.
Living as Nomads on the landscape between Sabi sands and Kruger, the Robson boys became great buffalo hunters. Over years they will stay the silent hunters and visitors of rival male areas, especially the Mapogos, but they avoided to confront them.
In mid 2010 they risked one last try to take-over the eastern parts of Sabi Sands. They were beaten and injured by Kinky Tail and Mr. T and they have been expelled into Kruger. 

So on serious note, both the robson males were in SS only, until mid 2010.They rarely goes to KNP. 


Also, the most important point is majingis were born in start 2005, ( one or two may be in late 2004 also, especially the largest one, that was killed by KT and Mr T).But let's play safe and consider them all 2005 born.
HOW THE HELL ON EARTH TWO TEENS MALES ( NOT EVEN TWO YEARS OLD), MANAGE TO GET GIRLS FOR THEMSELVES, WHEN SPLIT ROCK, ROLLER COASTER AND MAPOGOS ALL WERE IN LINE??
ALSO WHEN THEY WERE STILL WITH THEIR NATAL PRIDE. HOW DO THEY MANAGE TO GO KNP? 
NOT EVEN 2, HOW TWO SUBS MANAGE TO DEFEAT THE RULING COALITION?? 
AND I AM NOT EVEN COUNTING THE 3-4 MONTHS GESTATION PERIOD. 

SIMPLE MATHEMATICS IS NOT ALLOING THIS THEORY. 
I AM NOT BUYING IT
IT'S CLEARLY IMPOSSIBLE.
