Born in  June of 2000 to the Mhangeni female, the Mhangeni male moved south to eventually establish territory in the far southern reaches of Londolozi, with the bulk of his territory lying beyond our borders.

Known in the south as the Sand River male, he sired a number of cubs with females in that area, with one of them, the Piva male, eventually moving back into Londolozi to establish territory in 2014.

In later life he lost the use of his right eye to unknown causes; some speculate it was in a territorial fight, others suggest a spitting cobra, which in itself would be a cruel twist of irony as this was exactly what happened to his mother.

He became nomadic again in late 2013 and the last recorded sightings of him are from the winter of 2014.

Territory:
A leopard that held territory in southern Dudley, but mainly further south of that; prime habitat for the movement of medium sized antelope, consistent water sources as well as a high density of females.
