I think they have taken over Shitlhave area also. But originally we saw them around Phabeni Numbi Gate and Nyamundwa dam. So I’m sticking with Phabeni as that’s what we used for a year now and i don’t want to confuse people.

I thought it was a strange name, "Shitlhave" when I saw that name.

As @Brahimlegend said, they are also seen around Shitlhave Dam area, so thats from where that name comes from.

Note: I noticed that these males, Smudge and bro, have that dreaded black spot on their back right side.

2nd male is quite similar to Mohawk s28 male but this one has different blind eye, so its not him.. 

Here is what Ricky Da Fonseca says who these boys are :

So, if you think theres a lot of Mazithi males around, well, these guys are apparently brothers of Smudge and Fudge (Dark Mane) Mazithi/Lubyelubye pride males. 

We dont have photos of other males, but this unknown guy was seen around s79 recently, so he might be one of their brothers :

And @Brahimlegend posted unknown male on s21 recently (cant find it), so he also might be one of these.
