The MAP16 Civic Movement (MAP16) is a minor South African political party. It was formed after sixteen African National Congress (ANC) local councillors from the Maluti-a-Phofung Local Municipality were expelled by the ANC for voting to unseat the ANC mayor Vusi Tshabalala, who faced a number of corruption charges.
In the wake of the dismissals, by-elections were held in September 2018 in fifteen wards, and the expelled councillors stood as independents, winning back ten of the fifteen seats.[1]
MAP16 contested the 2021 Maluti-a-Phofung Local Municipality elections, winning twenty seats, while the ANC lost its majority, being reduced from 47 to 28 seats. Subsequently, MAP16 formed a coalition along with the Economic Freedom Fighters, Dikwankwetla Party, African Transformation Movement, African Independent Congress and the , supported by the Democratic Alliance and Freedom Front Plus, to take control of the municipality.[2][3]
