Are they wild?

These lions are from a private game reserve in the Karoo region of Western Cape, which is near Cape Town, so they're not exactly wild unfortunately. They could however, be a good foundation population for wild lions to return to the Cape region, which is also true for lions in Aquila Game Reserve. 

Semi-wild can mean they were born in captivity but then sent out to the wilderness, usually under close supervision, they can hunt animals within the vicinity.

I would consider that as wild. If they live like wild lions there arent any problems.

Yes, they are pretty much like wild lions but under closer supervision. They're generally not sent far out into the wild where they can encounter other lions or Hyenas, which is definitely a good thing in the short term. Like I alluded to before, this can be a great way to reintroduce lions into areas they've not been seen in for almost 200 years, like much of the Western Cape or the Drakensberg mountain range and so on.
