Lions of Manyeleti

I feel like Lambile will be the first to perish within the remaining three, because in the Majingilane coalition everybody knew hip scar was going to die first as he was the "loner" in the coalition. This case seems to be pretty similar.
That's very hard to predict it. Of course, the limp can slow him down at the time of fight for territory or mating rights. Also, he'll the least dominant of the three. Only time will tell what will happens with Lambile. Will be a joy follow the journey of the Tintswalo males. Their rising and fall

This case seems to be pretty similar.Hip-scar was carrying a hip injury in later years that made him more of a loner and the same injury also was the cause of his somewhat early death, not the fact that he was a loner. So I don't quite see your logic here. 
it is practically impossible to predict, even in cases of more isolated or injured lions, for example Nharhu and monwana are two cases that had healthy lions and others with problems but who ended up succumbing were those who were totally healthy.
"We had this sighting on the S125 close to Hamiltons Camp, in Kruger National Park, on 6 August 2021. There were 5 lionesses and 3 cubs in total."

A Manyeleti update.
Mandevu the Tintswalo male - He was following a few females they were seen entering into the Kruger side. 
Brutus in the Manyeleti - 2017
He’s in his prime but notice the black mark on the hips.  *This image is copyright of its original author Then in 2019- He may have been just 10 years old Brell_safari_ian  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author
If I not mistaken, Brutus was born in 2007/8. Therefore in 2017 he was around 10 to 9 years old. No certainly in his prime, but not enough old for a male lion of such an strong bloodline as Brutus. In he second image he was around 12 to 13 years old. So, makes sense that his condition will deteriorated fast and he'll look in that shape. Age has caught him up

All three Tintswalo males were seen this morning in Manyeleti. Lambile was found on his own.
[15/8 10:51] 3:49 lumfan pan - western side of Khoka Moya. We left the camp and followed fresh tracks again.after 15 minutes we found him. He is alone at the moment. Not with Mandevu and not with Mchile. He is alone and kind of skinny.
A Manyeleti update
17:38 We were following up on leopard tracks behind main dam and main camp. We heard a lion roaring in the drainage line close to main camp. We started to search the area and I saw the Red Road male in the long grass distance visual and cant off road. I was patient as usaul and finally he walked close by and got some pictures and videos. Red Road male looking health and good
