"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.

"Oscar Pistorius Parole Sparks Controversy Amid South Africa's Femicide Crisis"

Samantha Jonker, a lifelong friend of Reeva Steenkamp, has criticized the decision to release Oscar Pistorius on parole after he served less than half of his 13-and-a-half-year sentence for the murder of Steenkamp. Jonker, along with anti-violence campaigners, believes that Pistorius's release sends a wrong message about the consequences of gender-based violence in South Africa. Pistorius, a former Paralympic athlete, shot Steenkamp through a locked bathroom door in 2013, claiming he mistook her for an intruder. His initial conviction of culpable homicide was later upgraded to murder. Pistorius must now adhere to strict parole conditions, including anger management courses, abstaining from alcohol, and not handling weapons.
