The death toll from last month's Paarl Print fire has risen to 12, Paarl Media spokeswoman Nelia Burger confirmed on Tuesday.

She said Danielle Albertyn, 30, died in Tygerberg hospital on Monday morning.

Nine bodies were found in the smoking ruins of the printing works in Paarl, and two died in hospital before Albertyn.

Burger said five people were still being treated in hospital.
