Here are two pics of two young leopards photographed near Houmoed in June 2010. There is speculation that they may be Maja's kids.
I will be covering more of their antics in my latest trip report "Touareg and Mattanator experience extreme KTP"
KTP Leopard: Twin (Maja's cub)
Moderators: ritad, RosemaryH, lion queen, Crested Val
KTP Leopard: Twin (Maja's cub)
Named Twin to distinguish between the twins of Maja (Twin and No.12)

Re: Kgalagadi leopard identification
Edited - Tourareg's post - No. 12, leopard no. 3.4(Historical leopards) in the ID Guide, Twin, leopard no. 4.1(Deceased Individuals) in the ID Guide(04042014).
@Touareg - a lovely sighting!
I think there is a very strong possibility that they are Maja's cubs. They are in her home range(Houmoed is one of her favourite areas), and there have been no other reports of another female leopard with 2 cubs!
No. 12 is left in the picture and Twin is to the right.

Re: Twin (Maja's cub)
It is suspected that Twin was killed by lions between July and December 2010
