Oscar Pistorius, the former Paralympic athlete convicted for the murder of Reeva Steenkamp, has been spotted in public with a new romantic partner, sparking discussions due to her striking resemblance to the late model. Notably, Steenkamp was fatally shot by Pistorius on Valentine’s Day in 2013, a tragic event that has remained a focal point in South African media.
The 37-year-old Pistorius, who was released on parole in January 2024 after serving a nine-year sentence for his crime, was seen enjoying a lunch date with his new girlfriend, Rita Greyling, at a stylish pink-themed café located in one of Johannesburg’s affluent areas.
