Now, what I'm mentioning was being talked in the same exchange in facebook discussed in the post #263.

There isn't a link there, if I find it I will post it, but you need to read the whole conversation, posted here there are only a few of the comments.

That's all the "evidence" there is. It was a possibility discussed in a facebook post, nothing more, and that is how I presented it.

I didn't delete anything.

Like I said, it was one of the many things being considered, as a possibility.

The main understanding was that the Matimbas were the ones involved. The Majingilane were too far away.

could someone explain what is the story which is presented in the last 10-20 posts here?

how the 2 Othawa-mapogo Males are involved in the fight?
was them who fought against the Matimbas?
was the Majins vs the Mapogos?
I need some clarification how you perceive the lion dynamics in the Summer of 2011 between the Mapogos, Majingilane, Matimbas, Othawa Males etc.

@Fredymrt

obviously the 6 Matimbas had split in two groups,
one group of 2 lions were in Chettah plains
the other group of 4 lions were in the west near  the mapogos

Thats just making confusion here. That confrentation is between mapogos and matimbas confirmed by enough sources i posted before . Not majingilanes. And those who are saying that it was between othawa boys and mapogos are just making conspiracy theories that never been heard before.

It was just one of the things being considered. 

And all of your questions have been answered.

- It was though that maybe the Othawa males could have been the ones that fought their fathers. This was somewhat disregarded considering their young age.

- The Majingilane were far away, it wasn't them.

- So, out of the three possibilities, some of the Matimba males are the ones considered to be the ones that fought the Mapogos.

It's pretty simple, there's no confusion.
