E Adam ha detto che i giovani atleti avevano segni visibili sul viso come se fossero stati in una rissa. Non sembra che i Mjejane si espandano quando ne manca uno e uno viene picchiato.

It was inevitable that sooner or later even the Mjejane would be beaten by someone, time passes for them too and they don't always have to deal with inexperienced young people. However, so far the most massive and brutal, Toya, seems to me not to have been scratched yet. Reply

Why was it called Makulu around the time (Madoda was born in 2000) when Makhulu Mapogo's was in full force? Strange to have given the same name. Reply

It is unknown how their meeting went, but if you look at Mjejanes when they took Mbilu they were 2 together in the front and then Toya joining in the other direction, just like when they entered the Afsaal males territory, Toya was not together. So I think it was a 3v2 encounter again, Toya doesn't have any fight marks Reply

One of the biggest lions around Kruger during that time. Like his son, Hairy belly Matimba. Reply

Exactly what I was referring to earlier. It seems so strange, with one brother badly beaten, one missing still<?>, and he is off mating with a lioness as if he has no idea what has happened. Just really odd to me, not to mention, as you said, he doesn't have a mark on him. His brother has bites all over his groin, indicative that was fighting at least two males if not more, and he doesn't have a scratch. Reply

And adam said young jocks had visible marks on face like they been in a fight. Doesn't seem like Mjejane are expanding when one is missing , and one is beaten.

Well, hope that T is somewhere. 

This fight happened couple of weeks ago if im not mistaken, when picture of injured PB was posted, but we didnt see much there except shoulder bite, here we see he has suvere injuries on the back end, prob got caught by 2 males and got very lucky to see another day.

As @Gavskrr said, T and PB love to hang and search "troubles" on their own, so i guess this time they encounterd bigger "foes", prob Young Jocks.

On recent video i posted, 1 of Young Jocks had some cuts on the face, not sure about other 2, if they have any injuries. Reply

I hope this event has been a lesson for them to look for fewer problems and to be more comfortable on their territory in the future. Reply
