ATM lays charges against Fikile Mbalula over alleged lockdown contravention

The African Transformation Movement has accused Mbalula of breaking the lockdown by addressing a large gathering at Noord Taxi Rank in Johannesburg earlier last month.

Under the regulations governing the lockdown gatherings of more than 100 people are prohibited, but it was reported that Mbalula had addressed a crowd of more than 300. “Even more concerning was that the Minister himself for a considerable part of his address, together with some of the government officials also set a bad example by violating physical distancing in full view of millions of television viewers,” Moloi.

crimespotter It won't work he has the ANC immunity idol.

For the love of attention why did u take so long to lay charges

Good
