A blast from the past with 2 of the 4 massive Shishangeni males in 2015, the four males were beginning to venture into the Vurhami Bridge area  trying to take over the Vurhami pride.

In this article is stated that they are born in 2011/2012, which is false as we see based of this photo of them in 2015, those are not 3/4 yrs old lions.. 

Also Mjejane males are born atleast in 2014 as they already become dominant in 2018,so its impossible for Shishangenis to be born in 2011/2012.. 

I think they are born atleast in 2010..

Exactly friend good insight, I also believe the same, it is the same as it has been said that the Mjejane males are sons of these males when the dates do not match (dates of when the Shishangeni became proud and the date of birth of the Mjejane males)

Well Mjejanes look like Shishangenis so i believe that they are their sons, their first sons, but its unknown as far as I know from which pride they origin..

They may be the last sons of the Gomondwane males with the Shishangeni pride and there is their resemblance to their older brothers, all this is my opinion and is pure speculation...  Because as you say, I don't know which pride they are from!

Well thats a possibility also.. as they are around the same age as young Gomondwanes..

Blonde male was also seen injured, any idea who they fight?? It seems that returning their 3 brothers north into their old territory rly hurt them in Jock Concession, and are rly close to losing that territory, pride and cubs, as 5th died and Blonde is in bad condition.. 

I will try to find out who are the new challengers..

I think the Shishangeni are over 10+ I have some pics of them in 2013 and they doesn't look like 3 years old males imo

This old Lubyelubye male is a true legend! He has partnered up with their two sons and 1 of them is alive until today. He at a certain point is doing the same thing as Notch. He partnered with their sons and started to dominates a big area. This old Lubyelubye male deserves a lot of respect.

I also have pictures of them in 2013 on a buffalo carcass and you are right @TinoArmando  these guys look really huge for their age! 
I don't know if the age of these males is right, but I always doubt that they are 9 or 8 years old as some say, let's remember that the Gomondwane males became dominant around the end of 2008
