That's very true, I remember that article. My only point in the subject was about the phrase "in all africa history", since it's so easy to fall into exaggerations about it. But yes, they definitely did exact a toll in their population. 
I mean there are videos already of majingilanes killing 5 different hyenas. It will be very difficult we see another coalition doing it. In 2010 and 2011 majingis were sighted and filmed already killing 2 hyenas. 1 in lonfolozi and another at nkorho. Bboys are in sabi sands for 3 years and we can not see them killing any hyena yet. Thats what i mean.
Yeah, Majingilanes minimised the numbers of hyena in the area they reign,(In Sabi Sands) they killed hyenas like there was no tomorrow. These boys often eat hyenas they killed. Maybe it's their secret to long life.

With the departure of the Majingilane from central and eastern Londolozi, it seems that new coalitions aren’t the only thing that the resident prides have to worry about now. A blog post from two-and-a-half years ago examined the drop in hyena numbers to the south of the Sand River on Londolozi. We attributed their decline to the all-powerful presence of the Majingilane, and the impact that these male lions had on the hyena population had a knock-on effect on other predators as well, most notably the leopards, who in the absence of their main competitor were found to be hoisting kills less and less. Since last year, however, with the Majingilane establishing themselves in the western sector of the Sabi Sands, the way has been opened for the hyena numbers to rise again. Whereas between late 2011 and late 2013 the only regularly active hyena dens were to be found on the far corners of the property, right on the fringes of Majingilane territory, the last twelve months have seen the presence of the clans growing once more on central Londolozi, and new densites popping up closer and closer to the Sand River and the Londolozi Camps. The clan that currently rules over the core of our property between the Sand River and Tugwaan drainage systems have established themselves firmly in three dens between the Maxabene riverbed and the Londolozi airstrip. Growing numbers of young ones in the clan and a limited amount of space in their underground burrows means a number of individual sites have been chosen within a couple of hundred metres of each other. It was into this hotbed of hyena activity that the Tsalala pride were foolish enough to venture two days ago.  *This image is copyright of its original author Rough estimates of clan activity south of the Sand River on Londolozi. The purple area, most likely occupied by a different clan than the one featured in this post but not necessarily, has densites at the purple dots, which they move between depending on number of youngsters and parasite buildup in the den. We used to have to travel right down south to view hyena dens. After the Majingilane moved out, a den appeared at the blue dot, and the current densites are the red dots. The black dot indicates the position of the Sparta pride kill discussed later in this post. View the full story here: lion warfare the old adversaries
The hyena KIA by majingilanes still counting. Another one killed at ulusuba. Now are 6 sightings.
