Is this hearsay and speculation or were  there  official discussions that were being had?

Official stuff. It has been posted here already, everybody in the SS was pissed because the Mapogos were wrecking other lions and they wanted to move or shoot some of them, here the important part:

It would appear that the Mapogos are not interested in travelling further north into the Manyaleti … so for the moment the Kahuma cubs are safe, WE just don’t get to see them.

There is little that can be done about these thugs. it has always been policy not to get involved in the natural progression of these things. However, there is now a lot of talk all over the Sands. Some have spoken of moving some of the Mapogos to another reserve or even shooting some of them. Everyone is angry, but decisions like this are highly unlikely and could only be taken by officials at the Kruger National Park, but it certainly shows the emotions these 6 big lions are bringing out.
