With the death of Othawa male from hands of 2 Bboys, i wanna touch on subject how tragic destiny was of Majingilane sons..
First lets start with oldest sons..
2 Fourways male, 1 of the sons got caught and killed by 2 S. Matimbas in 2014 at the age of only 4,his brother DM with his partner Blondie where succesfull later on in Kruger, Dark Mane is pressumed to die around early 2020..
2 Styx males, had rough time in Sabi Sands, forced to leave Sabi Sands they got lost in Kruger, Long Mane appeared on s26 years later with 3 new males in coalition, no sign of his brother Big Boy, Long Mane had badly injured jaw, he died in 2020 in his prime..
3 Sparta young males, they had rough time after Majingilanes abandon them, forced out of the pride, 1 male joined Mhangenis but shortly after he disapeared, 2 other male went nomadic in Kruger, where they challenged few dominant coalition, but Mantimahles where too strong, mortally wound 1 male who died later on, while his brother disappeared, prob also killed..
3 Mhangeni males, 1 got killed by Charleston males, 2 disappeared into Kruger, their fate we will never know..
Tsalala males, we all know the story, after rough nomadic life, 2 males got tragicly killed by electric wires, 3T found an new coalition, but he disappeared 1 year ago, he is now also pressumed dead..
Then we have Mhangeni boys and Mhangeni Big Boy, one of the saddest stories in Sabi Sands recently..
And now Othawa male, pride and strong blood of Majingilane and Mapogo bloodline,killed by 2 Bboys as he just entered his prime years at 6 yrs old..
We now only have last Majingilane son, and the youngest, Junior Othawa.. Can he escape tragic destiny of Majingilane sons??
This just shows how hard is to be a male lion in the wild, and that we need to admire those few males who can survive to an old age , because thats not an easy task..
