Blondie and Dozie were dominant over the Nkuhuma Pride consisting of 8-9 lionesses in the north of the Sabi Sands reserve during 2006-2010.
On the 9th december 2007, Blondie got caught by 5 Mapogos. Dozie joined the fight, but it was too late to save his brother. His back had already been broken, and had no choice to fled for his life.
In the next weeks, the Nkuhuma Pride was constantly attacked by the Mapogos. From the 20 cubs present before Blondie's death, only 6 were alive. The tribe and Dozie were forced to leave the Sabi sands reserve and to enter the Manyeleti in the north.

This wasn't the end of the road for Dozie. After his arrival in the Manyeleti reserve, he challenged the 2 dominant males (know as Gums and Rod Stewart). He managed to kill the younger one (Rod Stewart) and Gums had to run. Dozie was on his own, but he was the dominant male of the region.

All was going to change in 2010. Like 3 years ago, 6 young males wanted Dozie's territory. It wasn't the Mapogos this time but the Matimba coalition.
Dozie fought for his territory, but 6 males were too much to handle. After a severe beating, Dozie was forced to start a nomadic life.

After his defeat, he came back to Djuma one night and laid by the dam that he and his brother were always patrolling before disappearing into Kruger.

Hope you enjoy the read.
