Definitely the male who was seen in western sector :

Any date on this video? Seems like a long way to travel in a few days. And the description of the video says they have been roaring all night (but who knows maybe it was the Tintswalo Males that were roaring).

Probably just hiding. These guys look seriously impressive and about the right age to make a big push. But with them being nomadic who knows, they probably already moved off already.

The Imbali Pride: The Imbali Pride has been spending a lot of time down south of our concession, pushing the Talamati Pride further towards the Sabi Sands Game Reserve. The Talamati Breakaway Pride: An exciting month with the Talamati girls being on concession again with a large black-maned male. They were seen northwest of the Imbali Staff Village on a buffalo kill. The Hamiltons Pride: Three of the females currently have cubs of varying ages. The Pride continues to enjoy the stability of having the dominant males, Blondie and Madala, spending most of their time with the Pride. Interestingly, there have been some really amazing sightings of the Hamiltons Pride all around the concession—including a momentary presence of the Hamiltons girls and their offspring on the plains behind the Imbali boma. During the initial stages lockdown, we had mentioned the arrival of two unknown male lions who managed to find their way to Hamiltons. This month, on a crisp morning, male lions broke the silence around Imbali waterhole. Our guides rushed out into the cool morning air and followed the sound of the roaring cats. A short distance west of the waterhole lying out in a clearing, the two large males lay watching us as we approached. We immediately recognised them as the same males who we had seen earlier, and it is interesting that they have been around the Concession for an extended period of time without interacting with our resident prides. We are starting to see the changes in the lion dynamics all over the concession. Several nomadic coalitions are being spotted on a regular basis. As much as we have come to know a lot of the lion prides in the area, mother nature will adjust the balance accordingly and a new era awaits. Will the ageing Madala and Blondie continue to be able to fight these new males off again? Where will the Imbali Pride settle? Keep watching this space for the updates over the next few months! I'm guessing the "Talamati Breakaway" is the two females with the S8 Male
The Talamati Breakaway pride has been around that area since 2019. Some say it’s a breakaway of the Talamati Pride who ran off with the Selati Males cubs when the Avocas took over but that’s pure speculation. I have never seen any photos of this breakaway Pride and they could have come in from anywhere.
Interested to know which Talamatis it is, can't find any mention of that Talamati breakaway since Feb 2019
Not only roar once, but twice!

And Talamati is a location in the Imbali area so not necessarily a SS Pride. 
May 2018 - Talamati breakaway pride status
Lions Sightings of Lion on the concession have left all of us wondering who they are and where they have come from, with many different prides, break away prides and individuals being seen on concession. The Talamati break away pride had a kudu kill close to Hoyo Hoyo Safari Lodge, this pride consists of 2 females, 3 subadult males and 3 smaller cubs of various ages.
