Lions of Sabi Sands

[Mapokser]

@Tr1x24 what happened it's far from being out of the realm of imagination but it is indeed a bit surprising.

If you asked most people, they'd say PCM are the strongest, even guides would say that.

This first started with Londolozi guide speculating that PCM were chasing Ndhzenhas just because. And before that their article said only 1 of the 4 was an impressive lion and the other one currently alove "was smaller than the lionesses".

MalaMala then wrote an article saying their future is uncertain because they weren't big and "size matters".

Northern guide more recently said Kambulas had no chance against PCM because "PCM are way too huge and powerful", and added that people were talking nonsense while speculating Kambulas could beat them. Ndhzengas are even smaller and only 2.

Also more recently a western lodge made a post of the PCM with the saying "strongest coalition in SS?"

So it's not like this was some overall fan opinion bases on nothing, guides also shared a similar opinion.

So yeah you were right that the Ndhzengas were a proper match but this is not a laughing matter that was obvious to everybody... To give another example, of the opposite happening, back in early 2022 you said that if Nhenha and NK were to establish themselves they could do very well and when addressing PCM, you said they wouldn't be an issue because "they are only 4,5yo", and then what happened was that PCM easily walked over territorial Nhenha/NK.

So my point is that these things are sometimes hard to predict, it was far from obvious that the Ndhzenhas would beat the PCM if they met in a clash. Reply
