Well coalitions of 5 + males almost always split when they become dominant.

Mantimahles started spliting in 2018 and completley split thru 2019, as 5th stayed around Rhino post while other 4 moved south towards Nkuhlu and s21, and eventually moved further south on s21/Renosterkoppies where they had a pride, abandoning Nkuhlu pride. 

5th got ousted from Sand River and Plains Camp prides towards late 2019 by S. Avocas, but he didnt rejoin his brothers, yet moved towards their first pride, Mantimahle pride and join his 2 sons.

Are they the brothers of the young adult killed by a coalition of 4 lions (only 3 attacked him) whose name I do not know, in 2016 when they took control of the Mazhiti pride?
