5th was born around 2007 in Vurhami Pride, i think thats too early to be sired by old Gomondwanes and is he related to this current Vurhami/H4 male? :

This 2 brutes where born in Jock Pride around 2011, after Old Jock and his 5 sons was ousted, so this 2 are sired by 4 Mlambane males..

This 2 brothers where born around 2011 in Lukimbi pride, its hard to find who sired them because Lukimbi dont name their lions for some reason..

But i found that from 2010 there where 6 new lions in that area, and later on in 2012/13 there where sightings of 4,5 of them regulary.. So i assume those lions might be old Gomondwane males, especially because 1 male had blind eye, just as 1 of the Gomondwanes:

If anybody have some more insight, or opinions pls share..

5th isn’t that old. He was born 2009 vurhami pride had to be gomondwanes he shares too many similarities to them and the Shishangeni. Two jock pride ones were Mlambane males. And the Lukimbi pride didn’t used to be in Mjejane right they moved their 2015. But were ruled by the two old Lukimbi males probably the fathers of the two Lukimbi. They vanished 2017 at 12 years old. Then two croc bridge males ruled the pride for a year before 3 year old Mjejane males came in 2018. That s28 male was probably sired by old gomondwanes too
