Arent Imbalis under Mantimahles for a while now, Kambulas where seen with Imbalis before them, they mated with them after clash vs RRM, around August - Sep last year. Since Mantimahles where pushing them further south, taking Imbalis. and Kambulas where seen with NKuhumas mostly. 
There's a sighting and photo of K4 mating with Imbali in December.
But if the cubs are younger than 2-3 months, they should be Mantimahle's. 
S65 males near Skukuza, only posting in here to follow on from what I said, anything else should go in KNP thread

Wondering wouldn’t Kambula had cubs? Lioness was with Styxt male lion or NdZhenga. Would a male lion be old enough to have cubs at four? 
Yeah I think he’s around 4 in half I think and she should be 6 now I think she was born sept 2019 I think And the Styx male was born in 2021 but I’m pretty sure I’m wrong on his age

Edit Reason: Corrected information
)
Edit: Correction: Not the unaccounted for YMM as he's with the other two sighted in Manyeleti.
The unaccounted for young Monwana male is with the SBDM and the Nkuhuma Pride. Nkuhuma lionesses aren't thrilled with him being around but was briefly mating with one of them. Deon Wessels has the encounter in his stories.  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author

Great update, both now he's obviously confirmed alive and much closer to his brothers, but also lesser maned BDM now has possible options just incase he's not accepted by his brother and the Avoca male. Happy for the young Nkuhuma male aswell, he's always had a great relationship with the BDMs, especially the lesser maned in recent times, I hope all the males in the area don't bring any harm to him, and I doubt they will while he has the prides backing.

This would be a great opportunity for the Nkuhuma young male to join up with a male or males his own age.

Was wondering if maybe Black damn male lions bro reunite, Avoca maybe young Nukhuma male lion could be around. Monwana male lions one is younger. Is same male with Mahangeni lionesses? Also maybe Avoca relative brother ? I was wondering theses male lions Montana male lion maybe relatives of Avoca or Mapoza male lion? Young Avoca male lion relative on Avoca male and Mapoza? Monwana male lions are his cosins, half bro. Would be good if some how he could join but them being four maybe not. Wonder if this is good for young Nukhuma male lion. Young male lion is growing. All these male lions; wondering of Kambula male lions and other male lions would move. Wondering how Kruger male lions and southern Avoca male lions have been. Talamatie young male lion and Nukhuma male.
After looking more closely, i dont think thats neither of Monwana boys:
 *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author It doesnt match neither of the boys and looks quite young. And its not him mating, yet NK young male, he was in bush:  *This image is copyright of its original author

This male is the young one that has always been accounted for......I call the 'missing 4th male" the one that has not been sighted for a few weeks. that unnacounted Monwana has now indeed been accounted for but hes together w two brothers in Manyeleti this is the missing male as captured by Vestment two days ago
@criollo2mil
But this boy following NKs doesnt match neither of 6 Monwana boys based of pictures. Unless thats 7th, more younger Monwana boy. This boy following NKs looks very young, Monwanas should be the size of SBDM.
