Former paralympic superstar athlete OscarPistorius will spend the tenth anniversary of the death of ReevaSteenkamp, behind bars.

Pistorius, who is known as “Blade Runner” for his carbon-fiber prosthetic legs, was jailed in 2016 for killing Steenkamp.

He went from public hero to convicted murderer in a trial that drew worldwide interest. Pistorius, who was once the darling of the Paralympic movement for pushing for greater recognition and acceptance of disabled athletes, shot dead Steenkamp, a model and law student, in his bathroom in 2013. Pistorius was initially given a six-year jail term but after prosecutors’ appeal, the term was increased to 13 years.

Reading the headline you’d swear he’s not the one who murdered her

This one is not in jail i bet

murder!!

Phuk him, he must die there.....

Bitch! A whole convicted murderer? Hive him ALL his flowers and titles please.

Super star like he ain’t kill her

anniversary of her death is also the anniversary of his conviction as a brutal murderer who lied in court… Do better SABC

AthiMtongana you will find out that the person who wrote is black. When writing about a black convict s/he won't put such nice words. Journalists are behaving like normal people when it comes to 'servicing' black people.

Nobody remembers him for being a superstar. Nobody.

Where else would you rather he be?

You belong their

Look how they embellishing his image he’s a murderer 🤷🏾‍♂️

White reporting in this country, still can't say it hei? 'MURDER' say it after me 'MURDER' masepa!!!

It still feels like Oscar stole Valentines Day...like the Grinch stole Christmas

Im sure his coming out this year on parole

That's the good of the rule of law. His experiences in jail as highlighted will deter potential killers from doing the same. He' lucky because he committed this crime in SA. If it was in any of the countries beyond the Limpopo, he could have visited his ancestors long ago.

Yea, and some of us still pee with open doors since then.

This is why nobody watches SABC anymore . Stop glorifying MURDERERS

A convicted murderer CAN'T be referred to a 'superstar' . you have a problem. As a public broadcaster, which you are not certainly, you must do better than this. mzwaimbeje what nonsense is this ? Celebrating a murderer. May Reeva Steenkamp's soul rest in peace

Yhooo the caption giving glory to the perpetrator. As if the 'superstar athlete' has chosen to grieve a death in jail for the night. Kancane Kancane ngiyavela nina.

10yrs later and he hasn't stepped foot in jail😏

Hy moet bly daar

This dog invented GBV!! Don't call him a super star!!

Jwale nkane a tsamaya ka di nkumutlana? O nyaka bamo kwela bohloko 😄

Lol SABC don’t do the murderer like that

Calling him a superstar instead of murder is peak white man privilege

Was it even necessary to put this picture of him though ? It shows immaturity and incompitence..

I will comment on his twentieth anniversary, for now I shall let it pass.

For people like him it's not enough the criminal justice must do more when it comes to murderers 🤞🤞🤞

Good. The little brat can spend the rest of his life there. Intruder my arse. It was a tantrum

Good
