Possible. Such scenario remainds me of one of the confrontations of Majingilanes vs Southern Matimbas which went in similar way:

"Hi Chris. Thank you for your comment, but believe otherwise. Although the two Matimba males were separated by quite a distance for several days following the Majingilane’s arrival, tracks indicated that they were together at the start of the night and during the encounter. In previous sightings involving a convergence of the two coalitions we have observed the clear determination and eagerness to attack by dark maned Majingilane; often seeing him leave the other two behind as he chases towards Matimba’s. Tracks indicated that one lion had been mauled severely before the Matimba split occurred. Therefore, dark maned Majingilane must have caught up to slowly fleeing Matimba’s, who saw him alone and both attacked for a brief time before the second and third Majingilane males caught up. This would’ve been enough time to inflict the injuries to him. Secondary injuries to another Majingilane male would have happened soon thereafter and the fight which progressed could have split the Matimba’s while the Majingilane regrouped. Two of the three had superficial injuries."

"The majingelane male have been in yet another fight with Matimba males. The videos and pictures were shot on the 22 march 2016 few days after the fight,it  shows three of the four males nursing the wounds. Dark mane have few scratch marks, a deep wound on his lips and chin and is limping a little. Golden mane have  wound on his flank and Scarnose have very little scratches on him."

One the another note unlike others there I am not fully convinced that the N'was are there (Londolozi and Mala Mala) to stay. Althrough it looks like takeover attempt I wouldn't be shocked if N'was would just go back south tho staying in Londolozi and Mala Mala is more likely option at the moment. Reply
