Oscar Pistorius was transferred from the Kgosi Mampuru Correctional Facility in Pretoria to the St. Albans Correctional Centre in Gqeberha late last month.

That was done as part of his parole proceedings with the disgraced former Paralympian now eligible after serving half of his 13-year sentence for the murder of Reeva Steenkamp.

There are a number of boxes that must be ticked before Pistorius is released from prison, one of which involves a so-called “victim offender dialogue” where he meets with June and Barry Steenkamp.

Reeva’s parents have made it clear multiple times over the past few years that they want Oscar to pay for what he did.

In an interview with Good Morning Britain which took place last month but is only now being picked up in South Africa, they outlined some of their feelings towards Oscar.

IOL reports:

…the Steenkamps revealed the loss gets harder as time passes…

When asked if they think Pistorius feels sorry for what he has done, [Barry] said that that is a difficult question to answer.

“Once the deed has been done, 90% of people will feel remorse. The 10% don’t care and they are the ones who shouldn’t get out of prison. Naturally, if you kill somebody, sooner or later, you will feel remorse, whether it’s for yourself or for the family,” he said…

June Steenkamp was more forthright in response:

“I think he will only show remorse if it contributes to his getting out of jail. We don’t have the full story. He changed his mind three times under oath”, she said, adding that all they want is the truth. “Its been a horror for us,” she said in the interview…

“Sorry is not enough for losing her life. She was wonderful and her whole future was ahead of her. He took everything away from her and us. But I forgave him. I forgave him through God. God asked me to forgive him but that doesn’t mean he must not pay for what he has done,” the heartbroken mother said.

June went on to say that she believes Oscar should serve the full 13-year sentence.

You can watch the full interview below:

Should Oscar be granted parole, it is likely he will live with his uncle Arnold and aunt Lois in Waterkloof, Pretoria.

The family’s sizeable plot of land in Mozambique could be an option if he wants to hide away from prying eyes.
