Mongawanes are not far away either.

Regardless, very sad for Mandevu, his adult life was prime example how hard is to be territorial male lion.

Had 3 brothers, 1 disappeared, Lambile got sick, Ncile snared, he was basically lone protector of his area for almost 2 years, constantly getting bullied and invaded by Mbiris. Few times in a fight with other males. Finally Ncile recovered, they looked great and expanded in Kruger, only for another blow as Ncile prob got killed.

He returned back, only options he had is to accept Nzuri, but looks like they didnt have time for him to mature, because of constant pressure from the north.

Mandevu is great and brave lion, but unfortunatley looks like (tragic?) saga of Tintswalo males is coming to an end.

As @Gavskrr mentioned, they probably suspect the Mbiris due to history and location but it could very well be the Mongawane males who mauled Mandevu.

With both Mandevu and Tumbela looking to be on death's door, sadly, it looks like the end is truly near for the Thanda Impi sons as a whole. Which is tragic, considering how well they started and how well they were progressing but life in the African wilderness just dealt them back-to-back misfortunes. Reply
