Dear Sir

RE: Research proposal: The relationship between stress and work violence in the RLCC Limpopo province

I am currently associated with UNISA where I am studying towards my Honours in Psychology. I have a special interest in what causes violence in the RLCC Limpopo province due to the perpetuating violent activities in this department. I attach a proposal for further research in this field.

Your sincerely
