CWM

About the party

The Civic Warriors of Maruleng (CWM) is a regional political party based in Limpopo founded sometime in March 2016 by local school principal, gospel singer, and community leader, Mapampule Hendrick Shai. The party focuses specifically on local governance and service delivery within the Maruleng Local Municipality, where it has successfully contested municipal elections and secured seats on the local council. The party faced a massive internal crisis when its founder was assassinated in February 2017. Leadership subsequently passed to acting president Poopo Mohlabe.
