RIP to this S26 king, this was So unfortunate.
S26 males are now down to 2, they used to be a powerful coalition of 4 lead by the legendary Long Mane Styx. He died in 2020 I believe, and now this boy has also died.
Judging by the area he was seen, it is likely that old LubyeLubye and his 3 younger partners are the culprits, as they were also seen nearby.
Heres my summary of what I think happened: the culprits likely caught this S26 male alone and brutally injured him. His brothers later came to rescue him which explains their injuries. However, it was too late and after some more fighting, the culprits declared their victory and left. The 2 S26 remained near the their brother as he died.
Whats next for their Mpondo pride is uncertain. The 2 remaing S26 are still not that old, but if aforementioned old LubyeLubye and his partners spot the weakness, they can takeover Mpondo pride, as S26 will be outnumbered easily. Assuming if this happens, Mpondo young males will be chased out or killed. Fingers crossed that they can hold on the Mpondo pride for longer.

they didnt sired any subs by now ?
They sired a lot of subs in Mpondo pride. I dont know the exact number. They should be near independence age since they took over this pride in 2018 from Mpondo males

is all three injured from the looks of it one them looks fine and then there videos where one is injured but don't know if it the intruder or s26 male ?
Poor boy his look is distressing, I always thought that old lubyelubye and his coalition partners would push into gomondwane territory as they were seen with some females, a pity, I hope they manage to hold their pride

Is there any evidence that this was done by S28/HP/Lubyelubye coalition?
Mathekenyane/Transport Dam males are also near by...

The transport dam males were seen a bit far from this area of course they may have moved quickly but it's kind of hard, I think this possibility can be excluded, it could have been Mathekenyane, but I still think from the number and the damage the chance of have been HP/s28/Lubyelubye, alias the s28 man had a lot of fight marks a while ago does anyone know the origin?
