The oldest one of the 7, the one that has been injured for a while now has joined them. He is part of the 5 eating the buffalo. He's definitely a survivor, I feared they might have lost him for good. He was in pretty bad condition for quite some time. Hopefully he can develop his strength and condition with their help.

I was very happy to see this update and that The Eldest has joined them on a kill. This good meal will do him some good!! 
In all the recent videos and updates, only one Skorro male has been seen. I thought maybe Sindzisa would be with the other mayambula females but i have yet to see any update on him for a while now.
I hope he is ok and didn't get caught slipping alone. Anyone know if both skorro brothers are accounted for?

This was posted today of Sindsiza himself but the caption speaks about both being present
The White Young Birmingham Male and at least one Tawny brother seen by rockfig lodge last night.

"We were extremely fortunate to experience one of natures true rarities: A White Lion in the wild.
We were spoiled by the presence of this beautiful young male White Lion and his brother (tawny or "normal" lion). A unbelieveable sighting that will be for many, a once-in-a-lifetime experience."
Tanda Tula update
For the lions, it was a week of feasting. The River Pride made a return after a few absent months, but there were only six of the seven members present; when they got chased around by the Birmingham Breakaway males that night, I did wonder if their attention was not the reason that one of the young males was missing. The next day a few members of the Birmingham Breakaways were found with a large buffalo kill in the Zebenine Riverbed. I headed into the area the next day and we found that the majority of the Mayambula Pride had pitched up and stolen the buffalo kill from the Birminghams and were now feasting on it. Four of the six Birmingham Breakaways were resting at a nearby waterhole, but we caught up with them later in the morning sneaking up to the carcass to see if they could get it back, but upon seeing that the seventeen members of the Mayambula Pride were still there, they gave up. That evening the four males did get a chance to finish off the kill, but with the scent of the Mayambula Pride hanging in the air, the males were very nervous and moved off at the slightest disturbance.  *This image is copyright of its original author The Mayambula Pride had a good week too and although we didn’t see them feeding on anything other than the buffalo, the pride walked around with full tummies for most of the week. They also spent the majority of the week within the concession which was a return to the norm. The two mothers of the youngest cubs moved their six cubs to the northern part of our concession and we were treated to a sighting of these bundles of joy on a couple of occasions. One morning we followed the two mothers back to the den, and the sounds of joy emanating from the cubs upon reuniting with their moms was just too cute for words.  *This image is copyright of its original author Even the Giraffe Pride got in on the action this week, and after a couple of tracking efforts that saw their movements returning to the south of our concession, the pride was eventually found with a wildebeest kill on our boundary. Interestingly the pride had killed the wildebeest but had not yet begun feeding; instead, they were lying about 100m from it just watching. Later in the morning the nine members that were present eventually made their way to the kill, but even then there wasn’t the feeding frenzy one would expect from so many lions, with a few of the adults simply laying to the side resting. The Sark lioness also made one brief appearance this week.  *This image is copyright of its original author
