I wonder why they both moved west into Sabi in the same week, some new coalition hanging around Rhino post lodge?

The Kruger males and the BBoys are sometimes in little Gowrie so it will be interesting to see what the 5th Mantimahle and his sons will do. Image they form a coalition with PC males. Highly unlikely but they share same bloodline

PCs are probably past that stage or they would have accepted nk/styx.

It was the Styx and Nkuhuma who didn't accept them

I dont think the PC males would benefit from adding more members.
Around 3 seems to be the optimal number for a coalition. After that the infighting increases with little gain.
If the two groups did join up in a hybrid group of 5. It would be messy and unstable. Not likely to last long.

These newcomers could take in Nym. But more likely they would fight or push him out over the Mhangeni pride if he believes he has some stakes over them.

All three were seen together not too long ago. The other young male could be around Rhino post in Kruger with their prides, Or even in Sabi Sands but he wasn't seen.

Is it known which prides they control? Im guessing a few lionesses from Torchwood pride. That pride has 10+ lionesses and not all are with Kruger males
