Oscar Pistorius to walk free after parole granted

PRETORIA - Oscar Pistorius will be released on parole on Friday.

It has been eleven years since he murdered his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, on Valentine’s Day.

In March 2023, the blade runner was denied parole after a judge ruled he had not served the minimum time to qualify.

Pistorius has spent about eight and a half years in jail and his sentence is expected to expire in 2029.
