PCM barely if at all cares about any of them anyways, let them stick to the only pride they like and actually protect. The Western Sector without Singita is more than big enough for the Ximhungwe but still not so big that 2 strong males can't fully protect.

Still I doubt Monwana are ready for such a task, Kruger/Avoca are way too old, only possible real option would be Kambulas, perfect age and numbers to control a big area with many prides, but unfortunately they are way too weak for their age and numbers, unable to even take over the mostly empty northern sector, never mind push the PCM out of Singita.

I wouldn´t count out Nkuhuma and Khanya, they arent much if any smaller than PCM, Khanya already shown signs of confidence before and Nkuhuma is in top shape and prime , I remmber how he defended himself pretty well against 3 Kambulas and their sister at the time so he must not be a pushover when in a fight , funny enough that is probably the most agressive thing I saw Kambulas do to other males, besides chasing KM or defending a kill against the Avocas 
But even without counting that Nkuhuma is 8 years old and always on top shape, and its not like he has been lucky so far, he is an extremly good hunter so I do think that him and Khanya are a good option
I get that people get suspicious when it comes to Nkuhuma but we didnt know what happend both times Reply
