Oscar is not allowed to conduct any interviews until 2029, so for now, all he can do is just smile and wave and continue sweeping church floors.
The parole board has set his release for 5 January 2024.
Whatever the outcome of Friday’s hearing, his release will still bring us no closer to the truth of what happened that fateful Valentine’s Day in 2013.
New Zealand rattled by magnitude 5.6 quake, Springboks shock with seven forwards on bench, Discoveries off Egyptian coast reveal ‘treasures and secrets’, and Pistorius apparently became eligible for parole 6 months ago.
We hope Barry finds the peace in death he was robbed of in his last years on earth. RIP.
Pistorius’s release has been universally supported by his prison social worker, psychologists, unit manager and head of recreation. Quite whether the one-time hero would be accepted back into a country that watched with horrified fascination as he tried to wash his hands of any guilt is another story altogether.
It’s been ten years since Oscar Pistorius shot and killed his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, in what the Paralympian at the time described as a case of ‘mistaken identity’.
Reeva Steenkamp’s parents appose parole, China uses military lasers against Philippines, Researchers unlock secret to slow down aging, Russia on the offensive, Turkey death toll up to 35 000, UCT shutdown again, Cape Town mayor tells Russian military ship to p*@# off and a complete list of what government has done since State Of Disaster was declared.
South Africa’s youth have revealed which sportspeople they think are the coolest right now, and one of their choices is from way out of left field.
Amazon has come under fire for listing a “Paralympic runner” Halloween costume, that will “cause some controversy at your next event”. Sigh.
Katie Price got private messages from Oscar, thanking her for her unbiased support, all because she wrote a column about judgement
The bloody Valentine’s murder scene is still shrouded in mystery and two brothers have spent months questioning every aspect.
