Oscar Pistorius, who was imprisoned for nine years for killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in 2013, has reportedly found new love.
The 38-year-old is in a relationship with Rita Greyling, a 33-year-old business management consultant from Wakkerstroom, Mpumalanga.
However, what has caught public attention is the startling resemblance between Greyling and Pistorius’s late girlfriend.
Greyling, a blonde with striking features similar to Steenkamp’s, has kept their relationship discreet as Pistorius works to rebuild his life in obscurity.
Since his release on parole, he has been living in a cottage on his uncle Arnold Pistorius’s property and volunteering at a nearby Dutch Reform Church.
Friends of the couple claim that shared personal tragedies brought them closer.
Greyling’s family has faced significant turmoil, including her brother Ghini Greyling’s involvement in a controversial incident in 2022.
During Ghini’s bachelor party at Henbase Lodge, Morgenzon, a guest, Willem Kruger, disappeared and was later found dead in the Vaal River.
The death, initially deemed accidental, is now under investigation as a potential murder, leaving lingering questions and media scrutiny.
Pistorius and Greyling’s connection has been described as a fresh start for both. However, the relationship raises eyebrows, given the history surrounding Pistorius.
Since his release, Pistorius has been living in a cottage on the grounds of his uncle Arnold’s home and volunteers at a Dutch Reform Church nearby.
Under the conditions of his parole, Pistorius will remain under supervision until 2029.
His restrictions include regular checks from the Department of Corrections, a ban on firearms, and a prohibition on contacting June Steenkamp or Reeva’s sister, Simone.
He must also remain in the immediate area unless granted permission by local authorities.
