Black Twitter Mourns Shamba The Lion. Social media is mourning Shamba the lion who died after mauling the owner of a private game reserve in Limpopo over the weekend. The owner sustained injuries to his neck and jaw and is currently recovering in hospital after the attack. Black Twitter did not let this opportunity pass them by, as tweeps bid farewell to the lion.

Shamba's wife "Ziwewe" has described her husband as a loving Lion who always looked after his wife and kids, and would always preach for expropriation of Land without Compensation.
