NK has been hanging around the mhangeni's but I don't think they see him as a dominant male in the area, if Nhena joins him they can definitely do something in that area.

I think it is other way around. If he would join Nkuchuma male then they could campete with other coalitions right away, through outcompeting PC males (or counting on they they won't want to compete for Mhangeni pride) and counting on that Ndzenga males won't show intrest in competing for Mhangeni pride doesn't have greatest chancess to succeed, but on the other hand if he would stick with young Kambulas and he would survive this 1-1,5 years untill Kambulas will be ready to compete then being in coalition of 7 is nearly a guarantee to regain dominant position in the arena. 
Also other think is that if he would establish himself as the dominant male together with Nkuchuma male, then he would struggle with remaining in that possition. Nhenha will not be getting any younger and it is only matter of time before his health will start to deteriorate and without his help, lone Nkuchuma male won't be able to hold territory by himself. On the other hand if Nhenha would regain his dominant possition, cooperating with Kambula males, then he could just sit back and count on his sons to defend territory and pride(s). In that case regardless of Nhenha condition he would remain dominant untill his natural death as it would be very unlikelly that some coalition would push out Kambulas from their territory during Nhenha's lifetime.
