It's impossible to even speculate the father isn't it? could of been any one of the majingilanes.  The mhangeni sub adults are majingilane sired too right?

Yes to all of it, except maybe about the father. To me he looks like either Golden mane or Hip scar, he definitely has HS eyes.

Yes, which is why I hope he gets expelled so he can find brothers to form a coalition.

They have never mated with the mother of the cubs, only with the other lioness. 
Chances there always are, nature's fairly unpredictable after all, but those are slim chances anyway, especially because of their age. They're too small to even be able to keep up should the mothers decide to move off to keep them alive, which is something lioneses sometimes do. Reply
