The Mighty Mapogos

[Mapokser]

I'd be surprised if someone knows of a report of Makhulu killing another male.

The adult male lions killed by Mapogos that I'm aware of numbers six: Rollercoaster with the bad eye, Dzunani, Rocky Serengeti male, Blondie, 1/2 Manyeleti male, and 5th Majingilane.

- Mala Mala reports that the then Eyrefield males were clashing with Rollercoasters in late 2005 and thought RCs were ousted by them, but later figured they weren't but 1/3 RC was seen in bad shape and with a limp, a few months later Mala Mala reports the RCs were seeing chasing the Mapogos but couldn't follow and didn't know how it ended. The next report announced the death of 1/3 RC;

- Dzunani killed by Mapogos in 2006, I think reported by Rob like that "killed by Mapogos", Makhulu had met him alone before that but the older Mapogo ran;

- Rocky killed and eaten by Mapogos, reported by Londolozi I think in early 2007 or late 2006;

- Blondie, killed by 5-6 Mapogos in the end of 2007, reported by WildEarth/Djuma;

- 1/2 Manyeleti Males in 2009, it was reported by many different souces like WildEarth and Mala Mala, they said the 2 Manyeleti males clashed with the 2 youngest Mapogos and the Manyeleti male with the shorter mane died later from his wounds;

- 5th Majingilane, like everybody knows, he was also killed by Mr.T and KT.

It was thought back in the day from Rob's initial report that Nhlanguleni had died from his fight against Makhulu in early 2006, but it turns out he survived. Then there's a report that the 6 Mapogos killed him later, and then Rob again saying in fact he escaped and left SS.

And of course there's the wide believe that in 2012 KNP Limper died from wounds inflicted by the old Makhulu, but personally, after reading every report about this in the other thread, not only there's no actual evidence of that, but I find this unlikely to have happened, at that time the Mapogos were old, weak and nomadic, they were running from everybody, even Solo and Cleo chased them and after every clash with the KNP, Mapogos were seen running and sometimes with injuries while KNP were seen fine.

If there's any more information on the warfare between Mapogos and KNP that indicates Makhulu was the culprit, or any other report of a Makhulu fight against a rival, I'd also be curious to know. Reply
