Oh boy. But I hope they settle things by September or wait for me to witness their war–I can only hope.

I hope neither side loses anyone also! It hardly seems fair that 4 of the Majingilane ganged up on 1 poor Selati!

its nature playing out, 2 strong coalitions and neighboring territories will always lead to a fight.

It would be amazing to see that power in action. The power of a lion is magnificent, but to use it on each other feels wrong. I hope they sort out what they need to with no loss of life.

Who killer kinkitale or mapogo.ans) majingilane. Who killed Mr. T. Ans) selati. It would be a strong battle.
I don’t want that because I am too sad by what happen to mapogo so I don’t that to happen again.

I’m sort of confused, if the Majingilane killed Kinky Tail and the Selati killed Mr T which coalition took over that part of Magopo territory?

Hi Joanne,
The Mapogo were split at the time of Kinky Tail’s death, with him and Mr T being dominant on Londolozi and MM.
Upon Kinky Tail’s death in 2010, Mr T. moved into the western sector to join the rest of his coalition, which is where he was eventually killed by the Selati males.
Having killed him, the Selati Males took over this territory themselves, and were eventually ousted by the Majingilane in 2014/15.
Does that help?
Best regards

The Mapogo had split and divided the territory into two onw part ruled by Makhulu, Rasta, scar and Pretty boy and the other part ruled by Mr.T and kinky tail when the Majingalane were attacking kinky tail Mr.T tried to save his brother but was out numbered and fled to the other part of the territory ruled by his other four brothers they accepted him without bloodshed but then Mr.T killed all their cubs and took over the pride, Rasta and Pretty boy were killed by the Majingalane and the young Sellatis came in and fought with Mr.T, Makhulu and Scar had fled leaving Mr.T badly injured and he passed away that evening, the remining Mapogo left Sabi sands and entered the Kruger national park.
