So who be these legendary, ruthless, revered, feared, and stunning, Masungulo Brothers... About 3 years ago, the Machaton Males abandoned the Takazile Pride and headed north, leaving us with a super/mega pride of some 33 lions! With no outside males coming in, the young Takazile males started mating with their related females in the pride, meanwhile, over in the east side of the reserve… The two Sark/Masungulo Brothers started moving in. Some say they came from Pridelands some 20km away, whilst some say they came in from Timbavati. Around August 2021, the first cubs sired by the Masungulo Brothers were born to a female in the Takazile pride, which are known in the east as the Kudyela pride. The following month these papas laid down the law as they joined the feast of a giraffe the Kudyela females had taken down; when one young female objected to their pulling a chair up at the table, they killed her. In January 2022, the second set of cubs sired by these Bros were born into the Kudyela pride. Then, they started making their way further into Balule and pushed into the West… Over a period of a few months the Bros came in sporadically and chased the young Takazile males around… this is how things should be: nomadic males come in, adult and sub adult males are chased out of their pride and they in turn find a pride to take over, this is how the gene pool is mixed. The problem is that our boys did not heed those warnings … on 10 July 2022, the Masungulo Brothers killed a young male in the Takazile pride – but they didn’t stop at that: they ate him (CAUTION the videos linked below contain graphic footage of this!). Now cannibalism in lions is not unheard of, but it is very rare. Did the remaining Takazile boys take note? No. In August 2022, the Masungulo Brothers killed another young Takazile male… and ate him too. =AZVi0yJ5zQ2Ed9HEn-KBCYP-ZCedW2CFI8GRHPm3xritQKkf_H8__-K9c0OxMguyUXnmfmkO_xS9-S32TfYVpeG4k5UkGqsPB550LCCeccbpIjZ99gHWEvcNp9bwARuB9L1jXMv-T4MKiJAd9F71E17n8AbLvlpPOtee6CUUYeU5hgIy-CKTEBpOBqid5903HPZbFAGGpS5cgPprynlsFOXR&__tn__=-UK-y-R]https://www.facebook.com/excellent.mnisi.545/videos/1205573806945235/ =AZVi0yJ5zQ2Ed9HEn-KBCYP-ZCedW2CFI8GRHPm3xritQKkf_H8__-K9c0OxMguyUXnmfmkO_xS9-S32TfYVpeG4k5UkGqsPB550LCCeccbpIjZ99gHWEvcNp9bwARuB9L1jXMv-T4MKiJAd9F71E17n8AbLvlpPOtee6CUUYeU5hgIy-CKTEBpOBqid5903HPZbFAGGpS5cgPprynlsFOXR&__tn__=-UK-y-R]https://www.facebook.com/themba.zwane.7771/videos/411108727635909/ September 12th, 2022 both Masungulo brothers were seen with Takazile females. Our pride takeover is still on-going, this morning even, the two Masungulo Brothers bumped and chased Takazile lions. They escaped; this time. Translated to English, Masungulo means “beginning / let’s start". Our lion dynamics once again change. New Masungulo stock arriving in Balule West end-December 2022!  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author
