The R1-billion flood relief government has available to provide relief after April's floods in KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape still haven't been accessed, Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana told the Joint Ad Hoc Committee on Flood Disaster Relief on Wednesday.

National Treasury hasn't received any requests to access these funds.

The money is in the form of grants, with specific conditions attached. The national departments needs to request the money from National Treasury.

Committee co-chairperson China Dodovu said it is "very unacceptable" that departments have not coordinated at national level.

Inkatha Freedom Party MP Mkhuleko Hlengwa said it appears National Treasury isn't accepting any responsibility.

"Unfortunately, Mr Hlengwa, I refuse to take any responsibility if people can't submit anything, a document, to us. And we can't accept any responsibility. We can't just dish out money without a document," Godongwana responded.

On Wednesday, Deputy President David Mabuza will answer questions about the disaster relief in the National Assembly.
