Oscar Pistorius? Now he has a new girlfriend. The former Paralympic sprinter has been out of Atteridgeville prison in South Africa for about a year, after spending almost nine years of his sentence there for the murder of his ex-girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
Oscar Pistorius, his girlfriend and the controversies
The last four will be served on probation and it seems that, in recent months, Pistorius has found a new love. This is Rita Greyling, a successful business consultant and friend of the former champion’s family. The two, according to the South African newspaper Netwerk24 which launched the news, should have been dating for about three months, during the hours when Pistorius can leave the house. After reading the news, Reeva Stenkamp’s mother and sister immediately warned the girl about her partner’s “anger problems”.
The details of how Oscar Pistorius, now 38, and Rita Greyling began dating are unknown, nor have the two confirmed the relationship. Simone Stenkamp, sister of the model killed with four gunshots on the evening of Valentine’s Day in 2013, intervened in this regard. The woman, as reported by the Daily Mail, wanted to underline the similarity between the two women: Greyling is blonde and thin like Reeva. «He’s so sick that he’s looking for a double – thundered Simone Stenkamp – what I wonder is: after killing Reeva, did he want to replace her? And above all, how can you stay with a person who killed his girlfriend with four gunshots?”.
Pistorius is released from prison, the athlete under house arrest in his uncle’s villa. The ex’s mother: “We are in prison for life”
THE REACTIONS
An anger, that of the Stenkamp family, which has not been able to calm down for more than ten years: «This proves even more that he has no remorse for what he did to Reeva. My sister found Oscar totally charming at first, but then he happens to change and become more domineering. Reeva wanted to leave but Oscar didn’t let her. I will always be convinced that that night she ended the relationship and he lost all control.” If he couldn’t have her, then no one could have her. «I have nothing against her, but I advise her to sleep with one eye open – concluded Simone Stenkamp -, he could repeat what he did to Reeva. He will always have anger problems and this, once before, ended in murder.”
