Consider The Lions of sabi sands, The Lions of Timbavati, The Chraleston Males, The Birmingham Males, or The Congo Lion. Not one of them are referred to as being 'Mighty'. I consider the title 'Mighty Mapogos' as being equally as respectful as 'History most brutal Killers'. Remember that you are all lion enthusiasts. To be arguing over something as trivial as this is just ridiculous.

Well that is fine because it is your opinion but I don't consider "mighty" as the same as "History most brutal killers", that name is too excessive and outright biased. You can change the name of the BB, Chraleston Males, etc to "might" or "awesome" and it will be fine but calling a  coalition "History most brutal killers" is very excessive, especially if they aren't "Histories most brutal killer".. I don't have to tell you this as (as it seems you know your lions) but the manginjis don't rightfully deserve that name, the Mapogos do. 

I am fine with the "Mighty Mapogo" name but I am not fine with a blatant lie and over exaggeration of the Manginjis. Why not call them "might" as well or "smart", or "awesome", "history most brutal killers" is a very high honor, it's like comparing a honors degree to a Phd, they are not the same. Given Mapogos track record of violence, brutality and power, they should deserve this honor. I am still fine with this threads name (even though it is underwhelming) but the Manginjis thread name is biased beyond belief. I am not saying the Manginjis are not special, when they killed KT, I respected them for that, as they did that with power and brutality but just because of that, people believe they deserve that title (Because killing King KT was what put them on the map). They don't! I will give them the honor of calling them the "most tactical/smartest lions of the Sabi" but the title of the "History most brutal killer" still belongs with the Mapogos.

The killing of KT by the Majingilanes is one of the most controversial part of the Mapogos' story. (In fact, the missing of Mr. T for 15 minute is hardly explained. Not for lion "experts", of course. For ignorant people like me.) I've made a lot of research about this and I can tell you that there is no "tactics" behind. This is a myth perpetuated by some with the clear intention to hide the facts or their ignorance about the event. Read the rangers reports, especially those written by Peter Rundle and Karin van der Merwe. None of them mention the "tactics" or the "smartness" of the Majingilanes cause such things simply don't exist. Reply
