I think, by lack of mention of the sister in the sighting of the Kambulas on 17th that the lioness was mating with one of the males was, in fact, the sister. It could have been an Nkuhuma lioness (seems unlikely), or the Talamati lioness, or even an Imbali lioness. But the sister is definitely a possibility. If so, this is not good.

And as we can see the Mantimahle males are still about. Reply
