1. Matimbas had prize in Londolozi in form of Tsalala pride. What for would any coalition settle down in Londolozi right now?

2. That was not a typical situation, but an extreme one. Londolozi guides even were making jokes that Matimbas have smaller territory than leopards which is... unussual for a male coalition. Althrough such situations can happen it will very extreme rare so why count on that to happen...


3. Matimbas in that peroid of time (not even 1 and half year) had like 8 confrontations with Matimbas and in the end were ousted by Matshapiris. It shows that there clearly were not enough space for every coalition and such situation could least only for so long untill one coalition get to manage to oust another. Situation when some coalition right now try to settle down in Londolozi and live peacefully between Ndzengas, PCs, Black Dams or Kambulas is not going to happen.

Spot on, this former logic doesn’t work as it doesn’t take into consideration the lack of females in Londolozi nor the surrounding coalitions. Look at PCMs and Ndhzengas for example, both coalitions have huge territory that goes into Londolozi, neither coalition recently looks like they’re willing to give that up.

 We’ve seen the PCMS go far East into Northern Londolozi after presumable chasing or picking up the scent of the Kambula males, while being there they was then said to have had an altercation with the Ndhzengas. Just a few days ago they chased the Talamati males and set after male lions roaring either on the edge of their territory or in their territory, whether this was the original altercation with the Talamati males before stealing their buffalo kill, we don’t know. 

Ndhzengas been very active going into Northern Sabi Sands and have seemingly pushed Skorro YM West from his original territory, both chases were recently meaning it’s possible they chased Nkuhuma Male too. 

These are two coalitions who clearly feel some type of way about allowing an additional coalition this close to their territory, so if someone was ever to takeover Londolozi, no way is it permanent. They’re either losing their territory, or taking over more territory within Sabi Sands and expanding themselves. Reply
