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

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.
