Looks like Bboys are starting to put pressure on young males to leave the pride:

The Southern Pride lioness, along with her two cubs and one of the N’waswishaka males called Ubuso, were found on a large kudu kill. They engorged themselves and then lay down to rest not far from the carcass. 23/08/2021
Note: It appears that Ubuso has a fresh cut just under his left eye, probably from that hunting.  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author
Caught up with the Virgin Sofa Safari today, Ximungwe Female was still mating with Limper
unfortunately couldn't watch live so wasn't able to ask any questions about her daughter, but from what they said it seems they believe she's still around They mentioned Ximungwe female is in the North west of the western sector  *This image is copyright of its original author

I dont think its possible for her to be back in estrus already if the cub is still alive..

Maybe it's her way of distracting Limper from coming near to her cub.

Two of the Styx lionesses and their seven cubs in the early hours of the morning. After the cubs were done suckling and bonding with their mothers, they soon got up and made their way to an area with a bit more shade.

BDYM and NK :

Dunno. If they both lost their partner, especially if it was to other lions, they may be to distrusting towards each other to give it a try. Let alone trust each other to have their backs in a fight.
Singita and the region is becoming a bit overrun by new coalitions though. It would be good if a strong coalition took hold there to curb their numbers a bit so the Mhangeni has a it a bit easier.
The Torchwood Pride came down to the pan this evening and brought three new cubs.
