Oscar Pistorius, the ex-Paralympic champion and convicted murderer has gotten a new girlfriend following his recent release on parole.
The 38-year-old has reportedly entered into a relationship with 33-year-old Rita Greyling, a business management consultant from the small town of Wakkerstroom, Mpumalanga.
Details of His Release and Time Served
Pistorius was officially granted parole on January 5, 2024, after serving years in prison for the death of his former girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp.
The tragic incident occurred on Valentine’s Day in 2013, when Pistorius shot Steenkamp through a closed bathroom door. He has maintained that he believed an intruder was in his home, leading to the fatal shooting.
Originally convicted of culpable homicide, the charges were later upgraded to murder, following appeals. This resulted in a longer prison sentence that brought worldwide attention to his case.
A New Relationship with Longstanding Ties
According to reports from Capetown, the relationship between Pistorius and Greyling is not entirely new to their families.
Sources close to the couple have revealed that their families share a long connection history. This has seemingly paved the way for the pair to grow closer in recent months.
Despite his past, Pistorius appears focused on moving forward with his life, seeking to rebuild his personal relationships and reputation. Greyling, a professional in the business management sector, has chosen to stand by him as he navigates this next chapter.
