Oscar Pistorius, released on parole after serving nine years for the murder of Reeva Steenkamp, must adhere to strict conditions until 2029. Steenkamp's mother remains unconvinced of Pistorius's remorse, attributing her husband's death to their daughter's murder. Pistorius, who used lethal ammunition, claimed he mistook Steenkamp for an intruder. He will reside at his uncle's property under parole conditions including a ban on alcohol and mandatory attendance in anger management and gender-based violence programs.

The article discusses the legal proceedings and parole hearing of Oscar Pistorius, a former elite athlete convicted of murder. The Supreme Court overruled the initial decision by Judge Masipa, applying the principle of dolus eventualis to find Pistorius guilty of murder. Despite being sentenced to 13 years and five months, there was confusion over his parole eligibility. The Constitutional Court found an error in the calculation, making him eligible for parole earlier. Barry Steenkamp, the victim's father, was open to parole, having met Pistorius in prison, while June Steenkamp, the victim's mother, opposed it, doubting his rehabilitation. Ultimately, Pistorius was granted parole with conditions, including restricted movement, anger-management programme attendance, and community service, lasting until December 5, 2029.
