mapoga spine 600

One of the Mapoga Males has been killed – by Brett Thomson

I have just learnt that one of the Mapoga warriors has been killed.

The lion, known as Mr T because of his Mohican mane, was finally killed by the coalition of four Southern Males. The brave lion stood up against all four of them as his brothers ran away.

He had his spine broken by the four younger males and finally succumbed to his injuries.

It looks like the legends that are the Mapoga are no more and a new era has begun.

The news was received this morning via Leopard Hills Game Lodge and Inyati Game Lodgein the Sabi Sand.
