No. Not N'was territory. 

It is a known fact Nkuhlus are well stabilished at southern MalaMala, but somehow everytime they are posted located there this whole dramatization comes up as if "Nkuhlus are invading N'waswitshaka territory". The eternal drama from those pages. Reply

You're right that they are based in southern Mala Mala, but they have traversed into N'was territory before - the N'was roared at them and they quickly avoided conflict. There IS a precedent for their presence in N'was territory. Reply

"They recently entered the territory if the Ndzhengas/N'waswitshaka Male Lions for a new exploration" 
If he means a situation that took place around 5 months ago im sure he would have been more specific, it seems more pointed towards the current sighting footage he shares of 4 Nkuhlus in MalaMala "Ndzhengas/N'waswitshaka territory".

I often post the Nkuhlus on Facebook and everytime location is marked as MalaMala people comment on how they are tresspassing into Ndzhenga territory, so i apologize if im 'legit putting words in dudes mouth' cause its not my intention, but  it doesn't change the fact this whole drama is a thing. And if u mean spotted in N'was territory in that current footage, u are just proving my point, cause that ain't N'was territory, its Nkuhlu territory  Reply

If they are in southern MalaMala, that's their territory, if they are further north, then it'd be Ndhzenga territory. Reply

It’s a common misconception surrounding lion territories, some people see the words ‘Mala Mala’ for example and automatically assume that must be Ndhzenga land when we know the lines are more blurred than that, as territorial borders are constantly evolving and fluctuating.

Some people aren’t able or willing to recognise that parts of different areas will actually belong to various individuals or coalitions with some overlaps taking place such as this one, or which has been/is the case with Singita and Londolozi in the past. Admittedly, most of the people on sites such as Facebook and Instagram are casual fans who don’t follow dynamics in as much detail so they’re understanding of certain things may be lacking and not something to criticise as such.
