Johannesburg - The Democratic Alliance on Sunday questioned how the Department of Human Settlements could have spent more than R10m on flowers and gifts.

"Minister, Lindiwe Sisulu revealed, in a reply to a DA question, that her department spent more than R10m on flowers and gifts for employees in the 2013-14 financial year," said DA MP Solly Malatsi.

He said the party would now submit further questions in Parliament, in order to establish more details on the matter.

"[Sisulu] must also make public the full list of people who benefited from the R10m."
