Selati Coalition

Southern/Selati males were born during the end of 2007 and the beginning of 2008 in different litters . They were part of Southern pride , one of the biggest and powerful prides of Sabi Sands . They are the sons of Golf Course males and nephews of Rollercoaster males .They were initially 5 strong males when they met some old male lions…These males, however, were going to becoming a force to be reckoned with as they became expert buffalo hunters…the Southern Pride males formed a coalition that was even going to rival the Mapogos someday!

And they did fight the Mapogos, in 2012 they succeded in killing the mighty Mr.T/SaTan Mapogo, and was thereby the new rulers of the southern part of the Mapogo Territory, the rest of the Mapogo territory is ruled by the Majingilane coalition, and there has been, and is today continuos clashes between Selati and Majingilane, as you can see below some of the clashes have become fatal

There were originally 5 lions in this coalition, but there is only two now. Selati #4 and Selati #1, these are the reason the other three have died:
Selati #5 was killed by the Majigilane Lions in 2011
Selati #2 died because injuries caused by a Cape Buffalo
Selati#3 was also seen in a fight with the Majingilane coalition earlier this year, he wasen`t killed in battle, but died later on of the injuries he sustained. Reply
