The Mantimahle Males

Nice to see a new recent photo for this dating couple at Rhino Post safari lodge area, one of the two Mantimahle young males. 
And, it’s confirmed the Mantimahle #5 and his two sons/nephews are all around the same area recently, all good.

The Mantimahle males were born into the Mazithi pride. They spent mostly of their nomadic journey at Mantimahle dam, Thus, from there the Mantimahle name comes from.

Young male with fighting injuries on his butt, wandering alone in Kruger. From his facial scar, it could be one of the two Sand River young males. Seems a tough nomadic life for these young males. 
I hope the other boy is also around.

Not sure where exactly in Kruger : ( but indeed the very special scars of him highly resemble. Hope it's him, and very likely.

The 5th with two of the Mantimahle sons have teamed up and are now doing well in Rhino post lodge, for sure with pride(s), but I am not sure which one.
The rest are based on S21, with renosterkoppies pride(s). Not so much news abt this place as I heard of, no idea how many prides they are controlling right now.
Also appreciate it if anyone else here has more clues. : )

All things considered, he looks great. Mantimahle sons are doing better than most young nomadic males
