The Mighty Mapogos

I personally doubt that in such circumstances 2 Majingis came out of the fight untouched. When MR.T jumped into fight with Majingis he very quickly overpowered one lion and retreated when another came into his aid. PB was bigger then KT and while numbers definitely didn’t work in their favor I can’t see scenario of them being severely beaten with no damage to the other side. At that time Mapogos were in prime.
Regarding Selaties, was it first encounter where PB was severely injured ever recorded?
Many thanks

Nobody saw anything, we don't know how PB's clash played out.

But we do know for a fact that he got badly beaten by multiple lions and at the same time 2 Majingis were reported, on Idube's words "pretty battered", there was one photo at the time showing the Majingilane and we could see injuries in the one Majingi looking at the camera.

We also know Rasta disappeared at the exact same time. There was word of a male lion skull found in Londolozi at the time, but I don't remember anymore if the info was legit or if it was just a myth, I do feel like the word came from a Londolozi ranger, but I don't remember exactly anymore.

It's quite possible, given what we know, that Rasta died in the same fight PB was injured, maybe 4v2, who knows, or maybe they were caught separately in a short period of time, or it was something similar to how the clash with Mlowathi went, we simply don't know and can only make an educated guess.

PB being bigger than KT doesn't mean anything, especially when the difference was so small it was insignificant. We could barely notice any size difference between the Mapogo and there were a lot of photos and videos of them together.

Guides did watch at the least the end of the clash where PB was severely injured by Selatis as they describe how it ended, with both coalitions moving in the opposite direction roaring.

There's a photo showing Pretty Boy being attacked by very young males who @Ngonya assures are the Selati, and I don't think there's anyone else who knows the Selatis better than him.

The issue is that in the photo the grass was dry and dead, but at that time of the year the grass is very green, which can be seen in the footage of the time, and it was also something pointed out by Rob the Ranger.

So that photo is a mystery. Reply
