Pretoria - A non-government organisation says it's concerned over the sharp increase in domestic violence since the start of the festive season.
Councillors at the Sinoville Crisis Centre in Pretoria reported the alarming rise in incidents.
This was during the 16 days of activism against gender-based violence, which ended on Monday.
The Sinoville Crisis Centre's CEO Colleen Strauss said economic stress, alcohol, and drug abuse could be contributing factors to the increase of incidents.
