Oscar Pistorius lands new job after prison release

nypost.com

Oscar Pistorius, the disgraced South African Olympian convicted of murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in 2013, has reportedly secured a job at a sound engineering company following his parole release in 2024. The 39-year-old's specific role at the company has not been disclosed. Pistorius was sentenced to 13 years and five months in prison after an appeal court overturned his initial culpable homicide verdict in 2015. He now lives in Pretoria with his uncle under strict parole conditions, which include mandatory anger management therapy and gender-based violence sessions, and will be monitored until his sentence expires in 2029. Before his conviction, Pistorius won six Paralympic gold medals and made history at London 2012 as the first double amputee to compete in the Olympics. Local residents reportedly prefer to keep their distance, describing him as "like a ghost" in the community.
