Parliament has rejected as misleading claims by the DA that the institution spent over R 11 million rand on security during the state-of-the-nation address on February 9. In a statement, parliament said the expenditure for the event did not exceed four million rand. Earlier, DA chief whip John Steenhuisen claimed the cost of this year's SONA stood just below eleven million rand. Stephen Kirker speaks to parliament spokesperson, Moloto Mothapo
