They assumed they chased them only because there was 3 males, but i doubt it happened, Kambulas where not affraid of any nomads, they beat NK more then half a year ago.
Skorro Breakaway and NK are not even coalition yet, they prob dont operate as duo at this point.
Not sure when this was, but that 1 missing male was prob K4 who was north with NK females.

I’m not confirming the altercation happened, but in the blog the guides did spot the 4th male tracking the others. I’m just glad Nkuhuma Male has been spotted because I last heard of him in PCM territory and until now there had been no more news. As far as them being a duo goes, we can’t call them that either cos they’ve not been with each other too long or a lack of footage but if I was to see footage of them both taking turns mating with Tsalala lioness, then from that point onwards I’d consider them a duo.

I agree. Doubt the Kambula males would run from Nkuhuma male, just because they're younger doesn't mean they were the ones that were chased. Pretty ignorant assumption on Londolozi's part.

The three 3 BBoys very likely caught out RP male alone.Had his partners been around, unlikely that would have happened. BBoys could have been beaten back instead.
Gijimas mangled one of the Kambula boys recently, so may be they could he hesitant for a while to confront Gijimas. Going forward, it won't be easy to handle Kambula boys.

Yes, they are together, but its still questionable how far they bonded, they said that NK mostly follows SB male around, and still no pics of them together.
No evidence that they chased Kambulas, its unlikely.
I hope this time it works out, the Nkuhuma male is always submissive when trying to join other males, he is really doing his best to have a coalition partner.
Wow K4 really got into it. He's definitely going to be the dominant one for now, until the other boys catch up. Seems like he might have been roaring in response to other lions.
According to the guide they found the BDM "far west from the Kambulas, at Shirley's road", as for where exactly this is in the map idk.
But by the looks of it, the BDM are not interested in confronting the Kambulas anymore and it's not like they're not aware of them roaring in their territory.
Maybe there'll be a small piece of land left by the Kambulas in Londolozi where BDM or NK/Skorro may be able to hold a territory. Kambulas may push morr towards the north where the core of the NK territory is, and more far from their natal territory.
And there may be new females to mate soon around there besides Tsalala, like K12 depending on what she does and maybe the NK Breakaway depending if these coalitions can push a little northwest towards Ottawa.
PCM spends most of their time in southern Singita and the Western Sector after all, with Ximhungwe and Mangheni.
