It was confirmed this morning by the guide Johan Adolf Smallman that the Guernsey male was killed by the two Mbiri males, at Ngala, Timbavati. His partner, the young Avoca male, was there but decided to escape leaving his partner alone.
Theres footage of the two Mbiri 'mauling' the already dead body of the unfortunate Guernsey male, brutal sight. I couldn't find the original source to post here so there it is a screenshot. 
R.I.P beautiful male

Where did you see the video?

Honestly, in last couple months, with Shaka being injured (prob by Tintswalos) and with both males not looking in greatest shape, getting pressured from Tintswalos from 1 side and Guernsey/Avoca from another, I taught that 2 ageing Mbiris are done.

But looks like 2 old warriors still have some fire in them.

On the other hand, i was worried that young Avoca is still not ready/mature enough for such a challenge.

Here we see another example of problems such "nomadic made" coalitions  have, their bond and teamwork in clashes is just not on the lvl "blood" brothers have..

This case reminds me of Nhenha/NK vs PCMs clash.

Theres very few examples, where "nomadic made" coalitions succeed to such lvls as "blood" can (1 of very rare good examples are Orpen males, who where very strong fighting duo).

But other then those very few, "blood" coalitions will in majority cases have upper hand.

So, even when we hope that some solo male finds partner, chances that this new coalition succeed is not that high. Reply
