Most (80%), out of the 16% (48 out of 60 respondents) who reported having used traditional elders in the past year, stated that they had been referred by an elder or a family member (Fig 33). More than half (51%) of the respondents indicated that the cause of the dispute submitted to the traditional elders for adjudication had been household violence (Fig 34). During a Key Informant Interview, The District Court Commissioner also commented on household violence saying, “Poor living conditions and unemployment are contributing to the increase in family disputes” 45 . Respondents were asked what the issue they took to the elders was and not whether they were victims, male and female respondents reported household violence with almost identical frequency (Fig 35); therefore this observation should not be used to infer victimisation rates.
