Western Cape Premier Helen Zille has assured Blikkiesdorp residents housing allocation in the province will be transparent.

She added people living in the temporary relocation area near Delft should not expect to get homes when they demanded.

Zille was under the impression her visit was to discuss education but residents ambushed her with questions on housing.

Residents said they felt they had been dumped and forgotten in Blikkiesdorp.

Zille assured them she would investigate the housing waiting list to provide the residents with answers.
