I am contesting the statement that they somehow pushed the BBoys out after a sustained challenge or that they had a hand in Mfumo's disappearance. Lions prime or otherwise die or disappear all the time without a trace, its not that unusual. Mistime a jump on a buffalo and a punctured lung would mean bleeding slowly to death. 

The Southern Avocas were chased out of their territory and separated around Kirkman's camp the last time the Charleston's popped up there. The Charleston's never returned to that territory again, by this logic it means that they were pushed out too and that the Avocas somehow killed Mezzino Charleston since he was found with a broken back a few weeks later.

I agree... I never said sustained challenge. :) I also agree, unless I have video or photo proving Mfumo was in the north I won’t usually treat it as a fact. It was actually reported by a ranger in Mala Mala (it was in one of their monthly Reports that I’m too lazy to pull up) ...but as we have seen in the past even ranger reports can be wrong if they are reporting secondhand info.

 I think after a few years of crazy warfare it was nice that everyone got to shift territories in 2018 without too much trouble. Bboys, Avocas, Ottawa Male, and Matimba...
