Lions

• The unknown male lion who was fondly known as “The Beast from the East” had, in the beginning of the month been christened with his official name, which is the Maputo male, in honour of the country he crossed into the concession from, which is Mozambique. He has been seen on a number of occasions wandering the southern parts of the concession, scent marking and roaring.
• The Maputo male and Kumana male have again been seen fighting on numerous occasions in the concession and it seems in most cases that the Maputo male is the victor of these fights.
• The arrival of the Maputo male into the concession has caused a bit of chaos amongst the Shish pride who have, for the last three years, pledged their allegiance to the Kumana male who looks like he may be losing parts of his territory to this intruding male. On one occasion the Maputo male was seen chasing the lionesses and cubs of the Shish pride, which caused the pride to split and to this day have not managed to get back together.
• The Mountain pride has been seen on a number of occasions in the northern parts of the concession. On one occasion they attempted to hunt two porcupines but the porcupine quills proved to be a great armour as the lions were unable to kill them, and this was not from a lack of trying as the quills caused many casualties.
• Two unknown males have been seen moving into the northern parts of the concession, in what is believed to be the Shish male’s territory.
• The Shish males have been seen on a few occasions in the Northern parts of the concession. A Shish male was seen with an unidentified lionesses and subadult male, and on another occasion Xihamham was seen with his ‘brother’ defending their territory by making their presence in the north known by roaring and scent marking.
• A lioness from the Mananga pride was seen east of Gudzane Dam.
• Three members of the Northern pride who are rarely seen were spotted catching some sleep in the cool cover of a tree’s shadow.

He reminds me of Dark Mane Majingilane and 3T Tsalala, wonder if his fathers (most likely Lubyelubye males and not Jocks) have any connections with Majingilane bloodline from the past. Reply

Wessel Booysen: "The last stand?
The Kumana male has been seen successfully defending the south against a male lion who has come in from Mozambique. The king is alive and well... But for how long???"

Apparently sired by 3 N'watimihiri males :

This male is most likely father of current last old Lubyelubye male (Lubyelubye Sr.) picture from 2012 :

Their origins are unknown, but it is possible that they are connected to Majingilanes bloodline somehow, as they dominated area south of Nkuhlu on s21 from around 2008-2015 and Majingilanes came from area north of Nkuhlu.. 

This male looks similar to Dark Mane Majingilane :
