I disagree, I have nothing against the PCMs but I’m not gonna let all these cubs start to disappear and each time just say ‘well these things happen.’ I’m not even necessarily saying the recent deaths from Tsalala Pride are on them, the stability part was just me speaking in general and one that most of us should agree with. 

With the Mhanegi Pride incident against the Kambulas we can for sure blame the PCMs, as it’s highly likely the Ndzengas were actually the ones to kill the cubs. Let’s not forget they were chased into Londolozi by Khanya and NK. Now are territorial disputes between prides common, yes, and they ofc lead to the loss of cubs / other pride members, but if a pride is getting pressured by two different sets of males and their own dominant / former dominant males aren’t there to help, how can we not put any blame on them.

As we know they abandoned Mhangenis to attempt a takeover of Nkuhuma Pride, a ridiculous takeover at that. Atleast one female gave birth to a single cub and another was also rumoured to but we never seen this cub, PCMs didn’t pay one visit to this cub as far as we know and yet it died pretty much as quick as it was born. Did it die through the fact it was already looking weak, and was rejected by its pride, or with the return of the Kambula 4, we don’t know. 

And then to top it off, u have the Mhangeni / Ximhungwe skirmish that PCMs clearly weren’t involved in and then possibly two separate instances which also led to Tsalala Pride losing cubs. 

All these instances and PCMs either arrived late after a cub was already lost or didn’t arrive at all. I have nothing against the PCMs, I think they’re great pride males to Ximhungwes and I wanted them to takeover Nkuhuma Pride after raising Mhangenis if it was still free for the taking. Reply
