There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

I think it has to mean that in some native language, although I've never seen it referenced to a certain language, Londolozi didn't say and I haven't seen it explained in the other blogs.
As a reference for this kind of naming, look at the names of the Birmingham males, all have some meaning in that native language.
Either way, the name Majingilane is cool.
I think the Birmingham's (their natal pride) takes their name from the farm(named Birmingham) near the southern end of Timbavati reserve. Not sure if it has some meaning in the native language though or if it's just simply taken from the UK city.
Nsuku, Nhenha, Tinyo and Mfumo are their individual names which have meaning in Tsonga
