Heartbreaking news..

It’s with a heavy heart that I have to inform all of you, Xitaya, a Nharhu male has tragically fallen and with him so has the Nharhu males regime.

Around 5 days ago we discovered Xitaya along the thick banks of machaton, beaten and bruised, it was evident that our king had clearly met his match but to whom we were not sure of yet… over the course of the next 3 nights his condition would continue to deteriorate to the point where any hope of him finding the Riverpride and securing a meal was drowned with the stone-cold realisation that this could be the end. Yesterday afternoon, tracks for a coalition of two male lions were picked up in the heart of the Riverprides territory (these were to be the culprits of Xitayas injuries) and after some investigative work the brothers were identified as the notorious Skorro males. When things couldn’t seem to get any worse; after a chaotic night spine-chilling lion roars and chaos, the news I had dreaded so much crackled through on the radio, “Mphisi have bamba’d this madoda Ngala…”. In his weakened state Xitaya could no longer fend off a clan of opportunistic hyenas and they finished him off. As to the the Riverpride, the females have fled south in an attempt to protect their cubs whilst the Skorro males still reign terror across their home turf, the whereabouts of Skorokoro (the last remaining Nahru) is unknown but with his handicap, he would not last long against the newcomers. And so in one single night the era of the Nahru males has shattered into a thousand pieces.
