lions don't abandon Prides and land unless they are forced to.

They already had serious presence in Malamala but after the advent of the Matimbas they became less frequent even in the Mlowathi area which is the Northern part of MM

@LionKiss Generally Lions move away from prides and territory once the cubs grow into adults.. 
One of the reasons may be to avoid mating with their own daughters..
For example Majis moved away from most of the territories after breeding for one generation.. Mhangeni being exception
The reason is the first set of cubs from Mhangeni are operating separately and Matimbas are the dominant males over them..
Now Majis have second set of cubs from Mhangeni.. 
I guess had their fist set of cubs (Females in particularly.. Mhangeni break away females.. 6 of them..) been with their mothers.. Majis would have moved away from the pride and territory Reply
