"Oscar Pistorius Parole Sparks Debate Amid South Africa's Struggle with Femicide"

Oscar Pistorius, the former Paralympic champion known as the Blade Runner, has been released on parole after serving less than nine years for the murder of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, on Valentine's Day in 2013. Reeva's brother, Adam Steenkamp, still struggles with the loss and the lack of full answers regarding the tragic event. Despite Pistorius's release, Adam feels that justice has not been fully served, as Pistorius will be relatively young and free after his parole restrictions end, while Reeva's family continues to live with their pain. Pistorius will live under strict conditions at his uncle's estate and is required to continue therapy for anger management and attend sessions on gender-based violence. Adam Steenkamp recalls his sister's life and potential, expressing the ongoing emotional impact her murder has on the family.
