Oscar Pistorius38, has found new love, according to South African media.
Pistorius, who was paroled in January, is said to be dating Rita Greyling’s33, with, who is known to be a family acquaintance of the murderer.
Greyling is from the town of Wakkerstroom in eastern South Africa and works as a business management consultant.
Death at brother’s bachelor party
Rita Greyling’s family made headlines for a tragic reason in 2022, when the man who had been chosen as best man for her brother’s wedding disappeared on a bachelor party and was found dead nine days later.
The case was initially considered an accident, but at the end of last year, the police started a homicide investigation.
Lives with his uncle
Pistorius shot his girlfriend By Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine’s Day in 2013. He was sentenced to 13 years in prison in 2016, but was eligible for parole in January 2024.
After being released from prison, the former Paralympic star has been living in his uncle Arnold’s guarded mansion in Pretoria and doing volunteer work at the church.
Pistorius is said to avoid bars, restaurants and other public places and lives his life without attracting attention.
June’s mother warns
Reeva Steenkamp’s mother June Steenkamp78, did not oppose Pistorius being granted parole, but says Pistorius is still lying about the events that led to Reeva’s death.
He also warns the new girlfriend of the former para athlete.
June Steenkamp doesn’t understand why the new girlfriend doesn’t see the warning signs in Pistorius.
– It is still difficult for him to control his emotions. He had to go to jail for anger management. One time I didn’t let him out of prison because I was annoyed that he wasn’t going to treatment, June’s mother told The Sun.
– He was angry, and he still has problems controlling his anger. He is still a danger to women. Reeva only knew him three months before she died, and she never confessed.
