Before joining Hildas Rock male an later on Three Tooth join, we know that Dreadlocks was partner of Talamati male and with Talamati male passing away most likely , i wonder if Dreadlocks left HRM and Three Tooth, especially if they lost their territory to Mpondos. 

Yes, out of 4 he was the most seen on his own even before, but there wasnt sighting of him with other 2 for quite some time now..

I don't think so. Talamati hasn't been seen much and we've seen dreadlocks hanging out with HRM and 3T quite often. They might have separated due to pressure or confrontation with other males but they are very much still a coalition.

Every single sighting of these 3 males lately have been when they're alone.  It's been well over a month now and they are not seen together when located. Wonder if something happened to the Hildas Rock male? (Guess Dreadlocks has been alone for some time now)

 Either these boys split already for whatever reason or they're a very loose coalition of independent lions! 

Tsalala Lion could be alone again, unfortunately....

No updates on them still.. 3 Mpondos where seen at DeLaporte waterhole recently, it seems they reclaimed their old territory.. 

DeLaporte males prob flee from that area, they have to show up somewhere sooner or later..

I think they moved west either alongside S1 or h1-1, because they didnt go north in Sabi Sands, neither where seen east along h4-1/s21 and south are Mpondos, so thats the only option..

Seems like the area south of Sabi Sands is a dead zone.... No word or information about the lions and prides living there. Heck, there was nothing much  about the Southern Avocas, even when they were mostly in southern SS.... So, I gave up on hoping for more information, unfortunately.
