I even think a young female managed to success to join another pride (Ximhugwe) in the chaos when Majingilane were taking over the western sector, because of her natal pride being related. Not sure about details and whether it survived at all, i believe it is somewhere in that youtube playlist focused on Othawa pre and post Majingilane takeover, there is too many videos for me to go and dig it form there though.

I made a post on that in Lion Tales thread recently

"In 2004 the 6 females of the Castleton pride were taken over by the Sand River Male aka Dzunani and soon were producing cubs all over the place. Due to the fact that the pride seldom crossed onto Castleton property anymore it was decided to rename them after the large open area that they were now spending most of their time - Ximhungwe clearings."

"In 2008 the Tsalala pride (2 adult females 1 sub female and 1 sub male) started to be seen in our traversing area, another breakaway from the Castleton pride, they had moved in under pressure from the Mapogo. The young male soon moved off to become known as Solo and the 2 lionesses started to be seen mating with the Mapogo males, the sub-adult female was seen alone a couple of times." Reply
