1) did not appear on the scene in 2006;

2) Makulu is never mentioned as the leader of the Mapogo nor as the first (the user always puts Dreadlocks implying that it is him)

3) The majingilane were in the area and they knew what was happening to the 5th (leader), they had not gone to drink, but they did not intervene;

4) it is not true that the 5 Mapogos met under the leadership of Mt. T, indeed, for a long time he was almost part of the group as evidenced by a recent video, to protect the cubs, and certainly he was, and remained, the least dominant, it is true that they followed him to Elephant plains, but it was not he who led the herd;

5) On the disappearance of Dreadlocks it is quite certain that he was a local breeder;

6) The Mapogo did not remain dominant for another 3-4 years, but for less than 2, Mr. T was killed by the Selati on March 16 2012 and Makulu and Pretty Boy were forced into nomadism in the same month;

7) it is true that there was a previous fight where Pretty Boy was seriously injured, Makhulu more lightly, but the Mapogos were victorious as the Selati left, so I wouldn't say they were beaten;

8) The clash between Makhulu and Limper is not mentioned, which is important to understand the tenacity of a lion by now old, still very strong;

9) of Pretty Boy, I read that he succumbed to TB, but his body was not found either. However there is a photo dated in November 2012 with both of Makhulu, some say January, others March, but I have never seen a photo that mentioned it as the last sighting.

For the rest, the summary is fine, it seemed to me there were more inaccuracies in the final part. I hope you understand such a long text, I use the automatic translator.

Now you made it more clear. You're right, I agree with your points 1-4 and 6-9. 

With regards to point 5, I'm not sure because there are different versions/speculations of the disappearance of Dreadlocks, and inclusive about the disappearance of Rasta. It seems is not for sure what happened with Dreadlocks and Rasta although I could be wrong. Reply
