Newest Tintswalo update doesn't indicate that they went back to Manyeleti neither did any of Sabi Sands lodge so it looks like they moved to the east from Buffelshoek into Kruger. There is basiccly no updates from that region so it is immpossible to say how far they moved. They could have stick very close to Avoca's territory all this time or moved further from them. Immpossible to say therefore however their return to northen Sabi Sands was and always is an option.

this coalition thinks only for food, they migrates with buffalos,  and also we not seen roar or something like that, which can mind land takeover. (sorry for my english)

Theres no sighting of Nharu males since more then month ago when they where seen in Buffelshoek,i too think that they ventured east into Kruger, prob still close to south Manyeleti and Buffelshoek. 

I dont think that they are in Sabi Sands and Avocas territory whatsoever.

Jacis Sabi House post looked to me like they heard that Nharu males where seen in Buffelshoek 1 month ago, so they assumed they are still there and thats why Avocas where roaring, with 0 evidence, no other lodge reported anything about 5 Nharu males.

Recently reports of some of this lodges from the north where full of false info, mistaking Torchwood male for Nkuhuma male, mistaking Mhangeni Big Boy few days for Nkuhuma male, 2 unknown lionesses they didnt indentify etc..

Only 6 members left out of massive young Styx pride in 2018, when after Bboys abandon them, their mothers decided to run and save the youngsters from N. Avocas and are nomadic since. 

It seems that are only 2 older lionesses still alive, 3 sub adult females and 1 young male, youngsters where born in 3 litters (late 2016,early 2017 and late 2017,sired by Bboys) but its unknown who of which litter is still alive, young male looks the oldest and biggest, starting to developing mane, he is prob born in late 2016/early 2017 and is around 3 yrs old. 

With their subadults getting to an 3 yrs old and when young male leaves the pride, i assume that the Styx pride in the next 1 year or so will settle down and start to find a coalition of males for themselves, even tho rn their days are quite hard, with 5 females in the pride, future of the pride is bright.

"Only 6 members left out of massive young Styx pride in 2018, when after Bboys abandon them, their mothers decided to run and save the youngsters from N. Avocas and are nomadic since. "

That is quite common view on that matter, but I would say that pressure from Torchwood brokeaway pride played also played big part in Styx pride leaving northen Mala Mala. 

"It seems that are only 2 older lionesses still alive, 3 sub adult females and 1 young male, youngsters where born in 3 litters (late 2016,early 2017 and late 2017,sired by Bboys) but its unknown who of which litter is still alive, young male looks the oldest and biggest, starting to developing mane, he is prob born in late 2016/early 2017 and is around 3 yrs old. "

To be precise there are:

1 ADULT FEMALE 11 YEARS 10 MONTHS 
1 ADULT FEMALE 8 YEARS 10 MONTHS 
2 SUB ADULTS 2 YEARS 11 MONTHS 
1 SUB ADULTS 2 YEARS 9 MONTHS 
1 SUB ADULTS 2 YEARS 4 MONTHS

We followed the N’waswishaka coalition of lions as they were trailing a herd of buffalo. They seemed to have already eaten previously but they still stayed within proximity so that when they do get hungry again, their food won’t be too far away
