Civic Movement
The “Map 16” refers to a group of 16 councilors in the Maluti-a-Phofung Local Municipality in the Free State province of South Africa. These councilors were expelled by the ANC in 2019 for voting with the opposition in a motion of no confidence against the then-mayor, due to allegations of corruption and mismanagement. After their expulsion, they ran as independents and won their seats back in the 2021 local government elections under the Map16 Civic Movement, which they founded.
