Can anyone list the prides the Matimbas conquered with dates?  I'm most interested in their early years.

I'm also wondering what year the Mbiri Pride broke away from the Skybed Pride, if you know.

Thank you for your help.

Idk exact dates, but you can kinda tell when they sired first generation of cubs in which pride, so some time before those cubs where born. 

2011 Mbiri cubs
2012 Nkuhuma and Talamati cubs

Then split 

2014 Koppies and Skorro cubs (N. Matimbas) 
2014 Torchwood cubs (S. Matimbas) 
2015 Styx cubs (S. Matimbas)

So the Northern Matimbas never interacted with the Torchwood Pride? I wonder how many of the Matimba-Torchwood offspring survived.  I wish we got more updates from that area.


Since the Torchwood Pride is not followed at all by rangers/guides, we are not sure how many of the S. Matimba offspring reached adulthood.  At the very least, one daughter and son did for sure and had offspring.... There could be more.  The lone male that made it has sired many cubs with 2 other males in Kruger in about 3 prides, becoming very successful males.  The daughter, Smudge Nose, has had surviving cubs and was seen alive up until at least 8 years old...  No recent photos of her though. They both look much more like HB Matimba than Ginger.
