There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Not sure what aftermath was, but he will prob be ousted by Trichardts (if he isnt already).

Trichardt's where 5 males who where territorial northeast of Tshokwane, on s35 and s37 roads, since 2019/20.
Then in early 2022, 3/5 brothers came north and invaded Singita Lembombo area from the south, ousting Kumana/Maputo males.
1 of those 3 had bad limp and disappeared shortly after ( prob dead ) or returned south.
2 remaining brothers where not seen since those 3 came north, and their former area is now dominated by 4 younger Mazithi males and 5 Sweni males.
So very likely 3 missing brothers are gone at this point and only this 2 are left (although not confirmed).
