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.

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 6Mei uit Broadwaystraat 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 besoek wat 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 grysVWPo-

lo met n CA-registrasienommer, s sy.

Maryka het n nabygele motorhandelaar

in Voortrekkerstraat gekontak omdat di

handelaar kringtelevisie het en moontlik

die voorval op beeld kon vasgel het.

Sy s egter: Die bestuurder het virmy ge-

s 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 Maan-

dag s op TygerBurger se medianavraag ge-

reageer: (Die) tegniese bestuurder is in n

vergadering tot 16:00 en sal haar dan ska-

kel. 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 in die

huis. Di frisgeboude reun is ongeveer drie

jaar oud en het n rustige geaardheid en is

vriendelik. Ons mis vir Gizmo vreeslik

baie en het nog nie moed opgegee om hom

terug te kry nie.

In n onverwante voorval is n ander rott-

weiler Vrydagoggend in Bellville gevind.

Di hond is in Bill Bezuidenhout-rylaan

gekry en sou later die middag, indien onop-

geis, na die Animal Anti-Cruelty League in

Epping geneem word. Maryka het bevestig

di hond is nie Gizmo nie.

V Enigiemandmet inligting oor die voorval kanMary-

ka kontak by 071 270 2101 of 071 643 2239.

n Onlangse foto van die gesteelde Gizmo, wie

se eienaar hoop om hom op te spoor deur na

kringtelevisie-materiaal van die voorval naby n

plaaslike hospitaal te kyk.

DESIRE RORKE

@dezzierorke

W

hile residents are still gasping at

themore thandouble inflation-rate

property rates increase expected in

July, the City is adamant these increases

are justified.

According to Cape Towns deputy mayor

and mayco member for finance, Ian Neil-

son, theCitys property rates income is cur-

rentlyprojected to growat a lower rate than

the items which are to be funded from it.

Certain expenditure items, which are

critical to theCitys 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 says.

This is apart from the recurrent operat-

ing costs and finance cost to repay capital

investment for the investments in new in-

frastructure for rates-funded services, he

added.

Double digit increases

In July property rates will increase with

10.83%, almost five percentage points more

than the previous years 6% andwell above

the current 4% inflation rate.

Electricity tariffs will increase with

10.82%, as opposed to last years 7.63%.

This is attributed to theNersa-approved

Eskom increase on bulk purchases to mu-

nicipalities, Neilson explains.

This increase comes to 14.24% for the

next year.

Furthermore, electricity sales are re-

ducing due to energy saving plans and

higher tariffs is forecasted to shrink con-

sumption by 1% annually, he says.

Water and sanitation tariffs is set to raise

with 11%, three percent more than last

years 8%.

This increase follows the increased

growth in the number of users receiving

free and subsidised services despite the de-

clining 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 revenuedue to lowerus-

age patterns flowing from economic condi-

tions and water savings initiatives, also

played a decisive role.

Keeping standards

Refuse disposal tariffs will have the

smallest increase with 9.31%, less than a

percent more than last years 8.56%.

With this increase the City will main-

tain and aim to improve the current stan-

dard of refuse removal service and to pro-

mote 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

we as entrepreneurs can recover these

costs from our clients, meaning that we

will have to absorb it, he says.

This, Ferreira says, hampers growth and

results in less job creation.

Thebusiness 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 in the future,

he says.

City says rates hike

pplications are open for NGOs and

shelters working with 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-governmental

organisations (NGOs) to apply for aid so that

they can increase their capacity to deal with

the influx of street people seeking shelter

and assistance during the winter months.

The City hasmore than doubled its availa-

ble 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 form of food, blankets, mat-

tresses and toiletries, is distributed in part-

nership with the disaster risk management

centre and the Western Cape governments

department 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 and we are now 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 organisations would need to

meet as well as the supporting documenta-

tion they need to provide.

Once we have received the applications,

we will conduct site visits to ensure that the

information provided is correct, because we

have to follow due process and ensure that

public funds are spent responsibly, saysSu-

zette Little, Mayco member for social devel-

opment and early childhood development.

Applicants must be registered as non-gov-

ernmental or non-profit organisations, have

facilities where people can overnight and

comply with all health and safety regula-

tions.

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 devel-

opment department to provide assistance to

those who require emergency accommoda-

tion, social work services and rehabilitation

services by directing them to one of the as-

sessment centres across the city.

In December, the City also launched its re-

integration unit, specifically tasked with

helping street people return to their commu-

nities 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 mem-

bers of the public to rather make a tangible

difference in the lives of street people by giv-

ing responsibly and supporting a local shel-

ter orNGO, or giving a street person in their

area a hand up instead of a hand-out as the

latter simply perpetuates the cycle of de-

pendence and aggressive begging, says Lit-

tle.

Breinaalde word vuurwarm

gebrei vir behoeftiges

Die Kaap se winterkoue sal in die komende

weke behoorlik verdryf word wanneer be-

jaardes van drie tehuise in die stad hul brei-

naalde vuurwarm gaan brei ten bate van be-

hoeftige babas.

Di breiprojek word aangebied deur Soli-

dariteit Helpende Hand se Pretoria-tak en

word ondersteun deur di organisasie se

Kraaifontein-tak, wat nou die breivernuf

van Kaapse breiers sal inspan.

Deur die projek hoop ons om nie net die

winterkoue met babakombersies en knie-

kombersies te verdryf vir mense wat dit die

nodigste het nie, maar om bejaardes te be-

trek om hul vaardigheid ten bate van n lief-

dadigheidsprojek in te span, verduidelik

Wilinda Ford, van Solidariteit Helpende

Hand in die Wes-Kaap.

Bejaardes van Huis Ravenzicht in Kraai-

fontein, Klaradyn-aftreeoord in Brackenfell

en HuisMartina in Parowvallei het die afge-

lope naweek wolpakke ter waarde van

R2 000 en breipatrone ontvang om te begin

brei.

Blink and youll miss it

A

list containing crucial information

for use by security companies or

neighbourhoodwatches when calling

in the Citys 107 emergency contact num-

ber, is herewith supplied.

According to a statement by ADTs com-

munity developmentmanager PatrickHall,

theyve been experiencing problems trying

to deal with the load of information reque-

sted when trying to summon various

emergency services from the 107 emergen-

cy contact number.

The main concern was the load of infor-

mation they requested before they would

despatch the emergency service needed.

Hall met with the relevant officials re-

cently to discuss a smoother call-in process

and was told officials need the correct in-

formation as they receive many false calls

from the public.

Hewas supplied with a call-out sheet con-

taining all the information thatwould be re-

quired when phoning emergency response,

which in turn Hall hopes to distribute to

neighbourhood watches to speed up any

emergency processes.

(Such a list) will stop the backward and

forward question asking, will keep the ra-

dio conversation short, so other radio users

will get a chance to communicate, he said.

The following information was crucial

when calling in an emergency:

V Callers name and a contact number of

the person on the scene;

V Nature of the incident;

V Address and nearest landmark or cross

street;

V When it is a medical emergency, state

immediately what the situation is;

V When the incident happened;

V What the condition of the patient is

for instance if theyre breathing, bleeding,

conscious, unconscious and if there is a pul-

se;

V Known medical history and age of the

patient;

V In case of a fire, statewhat it is that bur-

ning, for instance a factory, a house, a flat,

shack, vegetation;

V State if anyone is trapped or injured;

VWhen the police are needed, state what

the situation is;

VWhen the incident took place, or if it is

still in progress;

V State whether there are injuries and

what the nature of those injuries are;

V State whether the suspects are still on

the scene and if they are armed;

V When calling in motor vehicle (MVA)

or pedestrian accidents (PVA), state clearly

what the situation is what is involved,

how many vehicles and their type;

V Be sure to mention any injuries and

whether anyone is trapped;

V Always state whether there are hazar-

dousmaterials involved, for instance diesel

or petrol or any flammable or harmful spil-

lages.

Sterilisation ends

following violence

C

riminal elements and gang activity ha-

ve caused stakeholders of themass ani-

mal sterilisation project in Wesbank,

to abandon the campaign.

Allan Perrins, project leader and CEO of

the Cape of Good Hope SPCA, said last week

the project was abandoned due to serious sa-

fety concerns following an armed attack on

the team from African Tails.

AfricanTails, an animalwelfare organisa-

tion in Koeberg, was one of the organisati-

ons participating in the project. Their duties

were to collect the animals from the pet ow-

ners and transport them to the sterilisation

facility in Main Road.

Two field workers collected the cats and

dogs since the start of the project. The ani-

mals would be returned home either the sa-

me day or following day.

Attacked

According to Perrins, the African Tails

team were held up at gunpoint and robbed.

The perpetrators made it very clear that

should they return they will be attacked

again, he said.

This is not a threat that I can assume is

idle as crime has become a way of life and

a means to an end in many parts of Cape

Town.

Wehadplanned to sterilise andvaccinate

over 1 500 animals during this campaign and

are a mere 76 animals away from this goal

which would have resulted in 70% of this

communitys animals being sterilised and

vaccinated at no cost to the owners thanks

to generous co-funding from theCity of Cape

Town and the Nussbaum Foundation, Per-

rins said.

He apologised onbehalf of all stakeholders

to the owners who have been patiently wai-

ting in line to admit their animals and com-

mend those who took advantage of the bene-

fits of the project.

We trust that they will understand that

it is simply too dangerous for us to continue.

If they still want their animals to be steri-

lisedunder the aegis of this project then they

will have to bring and fetch their pets from

us (SPCA, Animal Rescue Organisation or

African Tails).

Evil minority

Perrins added: Animal welfare work is

not for sissies. Our teams are the best in

the business. They are dedicated, determi-

ned and until now have delivered extraordi-

nary results despite the odds. They are fear-

less and want to continue despite the risks,

but in the final analysis, they are no match

for an evil minority for whom life has abso-

lutely no value whatsoever.

DaanKoopman, chairman of theWesbank

community health committee, agreed and

said for the safety of the team it is best.

Things are getting worse. It is unsafe. Of-

ten you feel unsafe just walking through the

area, he said.

Koopman said this issue should be addres-

sed. We are losing too many young lives in

the area. We need a plan of action. Church

leaders will have to be approached, he said.

To date mass animal sterilisations have

been completed in Dunoon, Browns Farm,

Khayelitsha and Kayamandi.
