It was, but one of them passed away.

We see that this way because we have regular updates from Tintswalo and because of that we know exactly what happened to Junior Nkuchuma and sort of we know what happened to Buddy. If we would have such amount of updates as we have from arena where Monwana male has died (so bassicly no updates) then we would see that this way: 

1. Both Orpen males suddenly dissapearing, possibly dead body of one of them would have been found.
2. About immiedietly Tintswalo males are found taking over Orpen's territory and pride.

That way I would say cases of Monwanas vs Hercules/Sumatra and Orpens vs Tintswalo takeovers might be similar (might not of course if Sumatra/Hercules indeed confronted and killed Monwana male. but that is what we can only speculate about) Reply
