That's good that a tracker made it up. Well i kinda like it! Makunga means "to protect" OR "the behaved one". 
I'm guessing the meaning here is "to protect". Lol

Hope he doesn't get in trouble for it lol, I remember one of the guides on WE called YBM "Osindile" and then had to clarify the next day that he wasn't given an official name.

These kinds of posts are clogging the thread.  I love the Mapogos as much as anyone, but the last one died almost 10 years ago. 

All nostalgia posts should go into the dedicated thread of the coalition or pride unless they don't have one.  The Split Rock males for example never had a thread dedicated to them so all posts regarding them would be in Lions of SS.

Mapogos, Majingis, Matimbas, etc. all have dedicated threads.  They are all dead.  There should be ZERO posts about them in this thread.  

Nostalgia posts about lions who are still alive should also go to the dedicated threads.  I didn't watch the video, but let's say it contained footage of Auntie Othawa as a cub.  There is now a thread for the Othawa Pride so the post would go there and/or the Mighty Mapogo thread, but not in Lions of SS even though she is still alive.  This thread is 700 pages long.  Please don't clog it up any more than it already is.

I agree 100% they have been dead for like a decade now. Its silly to keep posting videos of the dead coalition !!! I mean, Fanboi'ism has to have limits.

If I may offer my 2 cents about the threads on this forum. Why cant this thread have every news from the entire SS? People like who dont get enough time to spend daily would surely prefer "one-stop-shop" for all, basically it would be helpful for people like me.

Friend
It's an overdiscussed topic. 
Even I have no problem with that. 
But the admin had decided this so let's follow the line.

Because its too packed, so we decide to do threads for more popular prides and coalitions. 

I mean its basically the same if you scroll more this thread or make 2 clicks more on other threads.

Topics which involve lion dynamics in Sabi Sands will be still posted here.

Primarily because, as @Tr1x24 stated, this thread is 600 pages long, and contains numerous unrelated topics. As a result it has become convoluted and difficult to follow along with a single conversation.
