officer, Sergeant Clinton Lategan, visited

that contractor, Nimb said.

Lategan was told that two men had

worked with the contractor on Higginss

roof. The contractor took Lategan to the

home of the first man. This man knew of

nothing and his home was searched, but

nothing was found.

The police then went to the other work-

ers home and the mystery around Hig-

ginss death started clearing up.

The (second) man was questioned.

Various items stolen from Higginss

home were found inside this mans

house, Nimb said.

Among these were the victims driv-

ers licence and her car keys.

Police also found the missing comput-

er, computer screen and a pair of binocu-

lars, Nimb said.

The 42-year-old suspect fromWallaced-

ene was arrested at 16:00 on Monday on

charges of murder and house robbery.

ELDERLYWOMAN SLAIN: ALLEGED KILLER FOUND THREE DAYS LATER

MICHELLE LINNERT

@linnertmb

P

olice believe they found the man

who killed 86-year-old Mavis Hig-

gins onMonday just three days aft-

er her brutal death in Heemstede.

The elderly womans body was found

on Friday, bloody, bound and face down

in her home after an apparent house rob-

bery.

Higginss murderer had gained entry

into her home through the roof, killed

her, then stole her car and drove off with

some valuables, said Bellville police

spokesperson Captain Fienie Nimb.

He then left thebodyof the elderlywom-

an, believed tohavebeenasphyxiated late

on Thursday night or early Friday morn-

ing, with her hands tied behind her back

with a jersey.

When police discovered her in her bed-

room, she was lying in a pool of blood

which had seeped from the right side of

her head.

The murder came to light when Kraai-

fontein police alerted theirBellville coun-

terparts on Friday regarding a white

Hyundai with a Bellville registration

number that was found abandoned in

Bloekombos.

Nimb said their members followed up

the registration number and address of

the cars owner,whowasHiggins, around

16:40 that afternoon.

When our members got there, they

were givenakey toHigginss homebyone

of her neighbours, Nimb said. That was

when they found her body.

Nimbsaid itwasdiscovered that the tel-

evision set, computer and some other val-

uables were missing.

Neighbours were interviewed and the

police reviewed video footage provided

by two of the neighbourswho had outside

CCTV cameras facing in the direction of

Higginss home. But their breakthrough

came soon afterwards.

The investigating officer found a con-

tractor who had done repairs to the vic-

tims roof. On Monday the investigating

FROM PAGE 1

When TygerBurger visited Heemstede on

Monday evening, shortly before the news of

the arrest was announced, an eerie silence

surrounded the area. Darkness due to load

shedding added an eery chill to the silence.

Higginss home was still wrapped in the

embrace of yellow police tape.

A neighbour who wanted to remain anon-

ymous told TygerBurger that the atmos-

phere had been morbid the entire week-

end after Higginss murder, with good rea-

son, it seems,

Everyone is on high alert. There are a lot

of elderly people living in our area and we

need to be their eyes and ears, he said.

Each one knows the other around here.

Theolder ladieskept in regular contactwith

each other all the time. Mrs Higgins was al-

ways busy in her garden. She was a quiet

person who kept to herself, he added.

Vera de Kock agreed. She was the neigh-

bourwhoopened the door toHigginss home

for police with the spare key Higgins had

given her.

Nobody heard anything, she toldTyger-

Burger. I got sucha frightwhenpolicewere

standing in front of me. They wanted to

know what car my neighbour drove. I said

a small white one, and they toldme they had

found it in Bloekombos in Kraaifontein.

De Kock said Higgins had two daughters,

one of whom lived in Durbanville, the other

in America.

She was like a mother to me. Whenever

I had a problem, I would ask her what she

thought I should do, De Kock said.

Neighbour Ina Bosman also assisted po-

lice during their intensive investigation

over the weekend.

She said she knew Higgins as a proper

English lady the epitome of grace and

friendliness.

I drove past her house at roughly about

14:30 the Friday, just before the police

came, Bosman said. Nothing seemed

amiss.

High alert

Bosman said police on the scene had been

speculating about the contractor. She

showed TygerBurger where the murderer

had come through a side rafter on Higginss

roof.

We were first told she was found with

both her hands and feet tied behind her

back, sitting in a chair. Then we heard she

was lying face down on her bed, she said.

Ina said they simplywanted to knowwhat

had happened in that home.

She added their local neighbourhood

watch was also on high alert after the inci-

dent.

They keep popping in, calling out to us

if they see a gate or door open. They have

been brilliant.

Chairperson of the watch, Andries

Atwell, told TygerBurger their sympathies

lay with the victims family.

Our heartfelt sympathy goes to the fami-

ly of the deceased. We intend to do all in our

power to ensure the safety of our area and

its residents, said Atwell.

Higginss daughter fromDurbanville, Eil-

een Higgins, shared her thoughts with Tyg-

erBurger.

Theyve apprehended the guy. He

worked on replacement sheets on mymoth-

ers roof. Obviously my mom knew him, so

he murdered her, Eileen said.

He didnt take much. Her death was so

pointless. Its so sad. He didnt get anything

of value and mymoms dead. He didnt rape

her or anything, she was still fully clothed,

but he came through her roof. That just

shows how vulnerable we are.

Her sister JeanetteHiggins Smithwas fly-

ing in from America on Thursday with her

own family, Eileen said.

Higginss funeral will be held at 11:30 on

Saturday at the Church of Christ in Evers-

dal, Eileen said.

ellville and Parow railway commut-

ers beware.

So says aBellville resident afterhe

was brutally attacked on a footbridge re-

cently.

LucianodosSantoswas returninghome

after an afternoon at the Parow Centre on

Saturday last week. He told TygerBurger

the incident happened around 16:30 as he

was passing through the Oosterzee train

station.

Luciano was crossing the footbridge to-

wards the nearby The Settlers High

School when he saw a man in his early

20s sitting on a ledge just below the

schools sports grounds.

As he passed, the man mumbled some-

thing, but Luciano kept walking.

A few steps ahead something told me

to turn around and I saw that themanwas

approachingme holding a 750 ml beer bot-

tle.

Mad man

He had the look of a mad man and at

that stage I realised that I was going to be

a victim of a robbery and started to run,

but I tripped and fell, Luciano said.

I tried to get up, but he grabbedme and

hit the bottle on my forehead.

The bottle broke and the man tried to

stab Lucianowith the shard of glass in his

hand.

With full force I tried to knock the bot-

tle out of his hand. I was bleeding severely

and thought he had cut my one eye open

as I could not see anything, Luciano said.

While screaming for help and fighting

with the man, people started appearing

from the station to see what was happen-

ing, but just to be spectators of a cruel

attack, Luciano said.

The owner of a guest house around the

corner from the parking lot where he was

attacked helped Luciano and bandaged

his head.

Luciano was then taken to the Medicli-

nic Louis Leipoldt and treated for cuts,

grazes and lots of bruising.

Hewanted toknowwhatwasbeingdone

to ensure the safety of commuters and pe-

destrians using that footbridge and path-

way.

I am still fighting the trauma of an un-

necessary incident should there have

been a permanent security officer in that

parking lot, he said.

According to VRCIDs Chief Operations

OfficerDerekBock, the train station isnot

part of their patrolling area.

The Oosterzee station falls outside our

area of coverage.Metrorail ensures the se-

curity and safety at their stations. We

work together with them at the Bellville

train station, he said.

Metrorail spokesperson Riana Scott, in

replying to amedia enquiry, said: Wesin-

cerely regret that (Luciano) had to suffer

such an ordeal.

Daily monitoring

Both the head of Metrorail Protection

Services as well as the Commander of the

polices Rail Rapid Response Unit have

been requested to investigate this matter

as no such incident appears to have been

reported, she said.

She said Luciano may yet be contacted

for more information or for a statement.

Criminal incidents within rail pre-

cincts are monitored daily and shared

with the police. This strategy has resulted

in increased arrests and amarked decline

in reported incidents, Scott said.

We encourage commuters to report all

suspicious behaviour and actual inci-

dents immediately to ensure that the po-

lice and our protection service teams de-

ploy their collective resources judicious-

ly.

During a followupwithLuciano, he con-

firmed he had not yet reported the attack.

I havent reported or made a case. I am

recuperating well, but the horror still lin-

gers in my mind from time to time, he

said.

s sy net die betrokke beeldmateriaal

kan sien, sal sy die registrasienom-

mer kan identifiseer en die man wat

haar rottweiler gesteel het, kan opspoor.

S glo Maryka le Roux van Boston, nadat

haar geliefde Gizmo-hondekind laatmiddag

opWoensdag 6MeiuitBroadwaystraat deur

n ouerige man in sy kar gelaai is.

Maryke vertel hoe di man glo n egpaar

naby die Laerskool Vredelust oortuig het

om aan hom n leiband te verskaf.

Volgens die egpaar het die man aan hulle

ges dat die betrokke hond sy hond is, en

dat die hond in die ry die deur oopgemaak

het en uitgespring het.

Maryka s die egpaar het dit wel later ver-

dag gevind dat n hond n motordeur kon

oopmaak, maar toe was die man reeds vort.

Ek het die egpaar besoekwat die leiband

vir die man gegee het. Hulle beweer dat die

hond nie saam die man wou gaan nie, maar

het dt toegeskryf aan die feit dat die hond

vreemd was in die omgewing, vertel sy.

Die hondedief is toe vort in n grys VW

Polo met n CA-registrasienommer, s sy.

Maryka het n nabygelemotorhandelaar

in Voortrekkerstraat gekontak, omdat di

handelaar kringtelevisie het en moontlik

die voorval op beeld kon vasgel het.

Sy s egter: Die bestuurder het vir my

ges dat die kameras slegs op hul perseel op-

vang. Maryka is daarna na die tegniese af-

deling van die Louis Leipoldt-hospitaal vir

hl beeldmateriaal.

Die hospitaal het Maandag s op Tyger-

Burger se medianavraag gereageer: (Die)

tegniese bestuurder is in n vergadering tot

16:00 en sal haar dan skakel.

Teen 16:33 Maandag het Maryka nog geen

oproep van di span ontvang nie.

Sy s hulle sal nie moed opgee nie, want

Gizmo is vir hulle soos n tweede kind.

Di frisgeboude reun is ongeveer drie jaar

oud en het n rustige geaardheid en is vrien-

delik.Ons mis vir Gizmo vreeslik baie en

het nog nie moed opgegee om hom terug te

kry nie. In n onverwante voorval is n an-

der rottweilerVrydagoggend inBellville ge-

vind. Di hond is in Bill Bezuidenhout-ry-

laan gekry en sou later die middag, indien

onopgeis, na die Animal Anti-Cruelty Lea-

gue in Epping geneemword.Maryka het be-

vestig di hond is nie Gizmo nie. Dit was

nie my hond nie. Hulle het reeds (di hond

se) eienaar opgespoor. Ek soek nog steeds.

V Enigiemandmet inligting oor die voorval kanMary

ka kontak by 071 270 2101 of 071 643 2239.

CCTV sal help om

hondekind te vind

n Onlangse foto van die gesteelde Gizmo, wie

se eienaar hoop om hom op te spoor deur na

kringtelevisiemateriaal van die voorval naby n

plaaslike hospitaal te kyk.

pplications are open for NGOs and

shelters workingwith street people to

apply for aid from the City of Cape

Town to cope with the expected influx of in-

dividuals seeking shelter during winter.

The City of Cape Towns social develop-

ment and early childhood development di-

rectorate is finalising the preparations for

its annual winter street people programme.

The programme allows non-governmen-

tal organisations (NGOs) to apply for aid so

that they can increase their capacity to deal

with the influx of street people seeking shel-

ter and assistance during the winter

months.

The City has more than doubled its avail-

able budget for the programme this year, in-

creasing the allotted funds from R280 000 in

2014 to just over R600 000 this year. The aid,

in the formof food, blankets,mattresses and

toiletries, is distributed inpartnershipwith

the disaster risk management centre and

the Western Cape governments depart-

ment of social development.

Aid available

Bed space at shelters is funded via the

Western Cape government and the City liai-

ses with them regarding the additional de-

mand on bed space during this period. In

2014, a total of 16 organisations qualified for

aid.

We have already started procuring the

goods andwearenow finalising the applica-

tion process for NGOs and other civic orga-

nisations who would like to apply for aid.

There is an application form that stipulates

the criteria the organisationswould need to

meet as well as the supporting documenta-

tion they need to provide. Once we have re-

ceived the applications,wewill conduct site

visits to ensure that the informationprovid-

ed is correct, because we have to follow due

process and ensure that public funds are

spent responsibly, says Suzette Little,

Mayco member for social development and

early childhood development.

Applicantsmust be registered asnon-gov-

ernmental or non-profit organisations,

have facilities where people can overnight

and comply with all health and safety regu-

lations.

Dedicated resources

Little says the City will also continue its

day to day interventions aimed at reinte-

grating street people and preventing more

people from migrating to the streets. This

includes outreach programmes by field

workers employed by the social develop-

ment department to provide assistance to

those who require emergency accommoda-

tion, social work services and rehabilita-

tion services by directing them to one of the

assessment centres across the city.

In December, the City also launched its

reintegration unit, specifically tasked with

helping street people return to their com-

munities of origin if they so choose.

We are dedicating significant resources

to ensuring that our street people are well

cared for this winter, but I appeal to them

to make use of the shelters and assistance

that is available. I also want to renew my

appeal to members of the public to rather

make a tangible difference in the lives of

street people by giving responsibly and sup-

porting a local shelter or NGO, or giving a

street person in their area ahandup instead

of a hand-out as the latter simply perpetu-

ates the cycle of dependence and aggressive

begging, she says.

N

jare se getroue diens aan sy polisie-

kantoor, die gebied en sy mense,

groet een van Kuilsrivier-polisie se

beamptes en bevelvoerder van sektor 2 ein-

delik sy geliefde werkplek.

Ao. Gerome Daniels, n boorling van

Kuilsrivier, is pas bevorder tot die rangvan

luitenant en val op 1 Junie by sy nuwe posi-

sie by die Bellville-polisiekantoor in.

Daniels (48),wat sy loopbaan inKlapmuts

begin het en nou altesame 23 jaar polisie-

diens het, s hy is opgewonde oor die nuwe

uitdaging, maar dat die realiteit nog by

hom moet insink.

Danielswas ses jaar lank die sektorbevel-

voerder van sektor 2 n gebied bekend vir

sy ho vlak van misdaad.

Geniet

Ek het dit geniet om met die Kalkfon-

tein- en Sarepta-gemeenskappe te werk.

Die mense hier het oor die jare baie be-

trokke geraak by die buurtwag-organisa-

sies en het uit hul eie blokwagstrukture ge-

stig. Dis iets wat ek nogal waardeer. Die

mense was nog altyd bereid om te help, s

Daniels.

Die geweldige uitdagings wat gebiede

soos Kalkfontein veral bied, is iets wat hom

altyd sal bybly.

Dis een van die gebiede wat die meeste

misdaad ervaar. Vroer jare was daar geen

strukture inpleknie,maarnou is daarheel-

wat inwoners wat aktief betrokke is en uit

hul eie begin iets doen om die plek reg te

ruk. Daar is n drastiese verandering in die

gebied, s hy.

Misdaad het veral naweke begin afneem

namate meer mense by die buurtwag-ligga-

me aangesluit het.

Daniels s hy is verheug oor sy bevorde-

ring tot luitenant, maar dat hy nog gemeng-

de gevoelens het. Ek het liefgeraak vir die

plek, voeg hy by.

Met sy nuwe posisie in the polisie wil hy

net sulke goeie sukses in Bellville behaal.

Dis n nuwe gemeenskap en mense,

maar verandering is goed. Mense moet een

of ander tyd aanbeweeg. Dis n nuwe sei-

soen in my lewe, s die pa van twee.

Kapt. Isaac van Niekerk, polisiewoord-

voerder, s die nuwe rang kom met groot

verantwoordelikhede.

Hy sal skofte werk en ook self besluite

moet neem. Hy sal eerstehands die pro-

bleem moet kan hanteer wanneer die sta-

siebevelvorder nie beskikbaar of teenwoor-

dig is nie.

Mense sal hom onthou vir die harde

werk wat hy gedoen het, s Van Niekerk.

DESIRE RORKE

@dezzierorke

W

hile residents are still gasping at

the property rates hike expected in

July, the City is adamant the in-

creases are justified.

Cape Towns deputy mayor and mayco

member for finance, Ian Neilson, said the

Citys property rates income is projected to

grow at a lower rate than the items it funds.

Certain expenditure items, which are

critical to the Citys standards of service de-

livery, such as fuel costs, overtime for safe-

ty and security staff, and security costs at

City facilities, necessitated a reassessment

and required additional budgetary alloca-

tions, he said.

This is apart from the recurrent operat-

ing and finance cost to repay capital invest-

ment for the investments in new infrastruc-

ture for rates-funded services.

In July property rates will increase by

10.83%, almost five percentage points more

than the previous years 6% and well above

the current 4% inflation rate.

Electricity tariffs will increase with

10.82%, as opposed to last years 7.63%.

This is attributed to the Nersa-approved

Eskom increase on bulk purchases to mu-

nicipalities, Neilson explains.

This increase comes to 14.24% for thenext

year.

Furthermore, electricity sales are reduc-

ing due to energy saving plans and higher

tariffs are forecast to shrink consumption

by 1% annually, said Neilson.

Water and sanitation tariffs are set to rise

with 11%,which is 3%more than last years

8%.

This increase follows the increased

growth in the number of users receiving

free and subsidised services despite declin-

ing water sales.

Again, finance cost to repay capital in-

vestment in new infrastructure comes into

play here. As does the expansion and reha-

bilitation of the current water infrastruc-

ture to address capacity constraints and to

ensure system efficiency, he explains.

The reduction in revenue due to lower us-

age patterns flowing from economic condi-

tions and water savings initiatives, also

played a decisive role.

Refuse disposal tariffs will have the

smallest increase with 9.31%, less than a

percent over last years 8.56%.

With this increase the City will main-

tain and aim to improve the standard of

refuse removal service and to promote

waste minimisation, Neilson said.

Chairman of the AHI Oostenberg Cham-

ber of Commerce, George Ferreira is very

concerned about these increases.

It is just not realistic. There is no way

weas entrepreneurs can recover these costs

fromour clients, meaning thatwewill have

to absorb them, he says.

This, Ferreira says, hampers growth and

results in less job creation.

The business community cannot contin-

ue to absorb these costs year on year and

although we can count ourselves lucky to

have the infrastructure we have in Cape

Town, we will have to be more involved in

the local budget discussions, he said.

Die hooggeregshofstryd waarin die eienaar

van die Bloemendal-wynlandgoed n uitset-

tingsbevel wil bekom teen die Bloemendal-

restaurant op n heuwel op die plaas, sleep

n meer as n jaar steeds voort.

Die grondeienaar, Spirito Trade 82, waar-

van Jasper Daniel Christiaan Tickner die di-

rekteur is, het verlede week n hofbevel be-

komomdiehofdatumvir die aanhoorvandie

saak op Maandag 24 Augustus te bekragtig

nadat die saak al talle kere die afgelope jaar

uitgestel is. Die saak sou verledeMaandag op

11 Mei voorgekom het, maar is uitgestel om-

dat die eienaarvandie restaurant, Tradefirm

135, vir die soveelste keer van regspan veran-

der het. Di aansoek om n uitsettingsbevel

in die hooggeregshof het gekom nadat Trade-

firm,waarvandie direkteureFreddieTurner

en Johan vanWyk is, glo versuim het om ag-

terstallige huurgeld, asook n uitstaande

drankrekening te betaal en nie die perseel

verlaat het nie. Tradefirm is reeds in 2013

kennis gegee dat die huurooreenkoms bein-

dig word. Tradefirm het vroer n teeneis vir

R15,85 miljoen ingestel as vergoeding vir die

koste van die gebou en infrastruktuurwat op

die stuk grond opgerig is, maar het dit intus-

sen laat vaar. Die Bloemendal-restaurant is

kort-kort in die nuus nadat sy dranklisensie

in September verlede jaar teruggetrek is en

sywater in Februarie verlede jaar afgesny is.

Bloemendalhofstryd sleep voort
