Department of correctional service confirms that convicted killer Oscar Pistorius has met with the parents of Reeva Steenkamp as part of a victim-offender dialogue process.
The former Paralympian superstar Oscar Pistorius, jailed in 2016 for killing his girlfriend Reeve Steenkamp in the early hours of Valentine's day 2013, is beginning a reconciliation process.
Henceforth this doesn't mean that he has not been granted parole, and there is no information on when he will be granted parole. Pistorius must still attend a parole hearing, whereby the department of correctional officials will decide if he should be realised early or not.
The Steenkamp family attorney, Tania Koen, said the dialogue occurred between Reeva's father, Barry and Pistorius. For the conference, Pistorius was transferred to a prison in Gqeberha in the Eastern Cape.
