Looks like Nhenha was alone here, not sure where was NK.

They first chased NK, then Nhenha:

 

Thats why NK was not there with Nhenha. 

PC males did a great job attacking them when they were not together, as we see NK is casually lying in the shade when 2 males appear.

Quote form facebook group

[color=var(--primary-text)]"I got news from my friends there that Nakhuma was there when the plains camp men attacked Nhenha and they said he ran away, that means he didn't defend with Nhenha and decided to leave him and save his life. And the paparazzi couldn't catch up with Nhenha for a photo shoot, he might be able to survive the Plains camp boys and hope they really survive"

Clarifying this situation before it goes out of control.  The Birmingham and Nkuhuma males have been very active these past few days probably looking for the Othawa and their pride male which pulled the attention of the PC Males. The Nkuhuma Male was alone in Savanna Game Reserve when the two PC males found and chased him. They chased into Dulini Game Reserve. Nhenha was then seen persuing the two PC males. In the story, Nhenha is roaring whilst the two PC Males are watching him. He is caught but managed to escape which is quite impressive. The Nkuhuma Male was seen roaring and walking in a direction but I don't know exactly where he was seen. Nhenha was seen resting and he looks to be OK. The PC males managed to catch them separated but let's hope they join up somehow.

I've wondered how accurate the story is regarding the altercation with Nhena and Skorro junior a while ago. Some were saying Skorro Junior had the upper hand yet Nhena somehow managed to survive an attack and get away from both PC Males who are massive, very aggressive and confident?
I think Nhena did well to survive the attack from both PC Males if they caught him alone which is impressive and shows he's still a strong and capable lion in a fight at his much older age. Was surprised he would pursue to massive lions by himself and I hope Nhena is ok and him and NK male reunite soon.

Did anyone seen that Nhenha was actually caught? Why nobody film that? Any photos of Nhenha afer that? 

Its hard to believe that he would be able to fight off and escape against 2 big males like PC boys if they actually did catch him in a 1 vs 2.

From Stuarts video it looks like the vehicles were lagging behind a bit and it happened past some bushes. Although I haven't seen any recordings of while it was happening, maybe they're saving that footage

PC males are playing it really smart despite their young age, the are acting like experienced tacticians. In this case they spotted NYM alone and decided to attack. I dont think they wouldve attacked if he was together with Nhena. After they chase NYM away and make sure he isnt running towards Nhena, they change directions and go for Nhena instead. 

This is a really interesting strategy PC males are using inorder to keep NYM and Nhena seprated. Interesting times ahead in western sector

Very precise and accurate depiction of the recent confrontation/s.
Thank you @Slayerd

I dont think they actually got him, maybe 1 male catched him and few swipes exchanged and Nhenha runs away. 

If 2 males actually loocked him down, i dont think he would managed to get away just like that, without any injuries it looks like.
