Reeva Steenkamp's mother warns Oscar Pistorius poses ongoing threat to women
- Oscar Pistorius was sentenced to nine years in prison for the murder of Reeva Steenkamp in 2013.
- June Steenkamp, concerned about his new girlfriend Rita Greyling, believes Oscar is still dangerous.
- Her warnings spotlight the ongoing issue of domestic violence and the risks women may face.
In South Africa, June Steenkamp, the mother of slain model Reeva Steenkamp, has raised alarming concerns regarding Oscar Pistorius's new girlfriend, Rita Greyling. Pistorius, who was convicted of murdering Reeva in February 2013, had recently been granted parole after serving part of his nine-year sentence, which has led to renewed public interest in his life. June Steenkamp's unease stemmed from her belief that Pistorius remains a threat to women, reiterating that he has not changed despite undergoing anger management in prison. She emphasized that her daughter only knew Pistorius for a brief period before her tragic death and has no confession from him regarding the circumstances of that night. June revealed her efforts to block Pistorius's release due to her dissatisfaction with his anger management treatment and expressed deep concern for Greyling, who resembles her late daughter. This situation has brought back painful memories for the Steenkamp family, prompting June to further advocate against domestic violence and injustice against women through her foundation, highlighting the importance of vigilance regarding such relationships. Pistorius is said to be attempting to live a low-profile life under strict parole conditions meant to monitor his behavior and prevent further incidents. While Pistorius claims the shooting was an accident, the murky details surrounding the incident and the aftermath continue to stir public debate and scrutiny toward his character and treatment of women.
