I knew that some years ago they met each other in a supposed 4 vs 3 encounter, but I've though that this could be about a different occasion the two coalitions encountered. Anyway, I've read the comments under the article and I think the one posted by James Tyrrell needs a small correction. He says:

"With social media these days bringing far more of the lion population dynamics into the spotlight than in previous years, I imagine that it’s also only recently that the general public has started paying close attention to what is happening in the lion world, and this has just happened to coincide with the rise of big coalitions like the Mapogo, the Majingilanes and the Matimbas."

I have the opinion that many people started to pay attention to the lions’ world after watching the documentary “Brothers in Blood”. That's why I consider the Mapogos had the main contribution to this, while the other coalitions became known only for playing a role in the Mapogos' show. (N.B. This is my opinion, and I don't want to start an argue with other members of the forum about this.)

i totally agree with you Reply
