The African Transformation Movement (ATM) hit back at Mbalula, who on Tuesday accused the party of seeking attention after they laid a charge against him.
ATM announced on Tuesday that it had laid a charge against Mbalula after he addressed a large crowd at the Noord Taxi Rank in the Johannesburg CBD at the start of April.
ATM stated that Mbalula had violated the lockdown regulation which prohibited the gathering of more than 100 people, which was later revised to no more than 50 by government, as a measure to maintain a healthy social distance between people.
