Reeva Steenkamp died after being shot by her lover Paralympian Oscar Pistorius on Valentine’s Day in 2013. To commemorate her death, her parents returned to Pollock Beach in Gqeberha, where they scattered the model’s ashes to remember her legacy.“It’s almost like today, it was yesterday, and it’s still clear in my mind. We are still grieving, Barry and I. We miss her. She was a good daughter. She never caused us any trouble. She was a wonderful person, carrying for others. She put others before herself. She was passionate about women and that is why we names the foundation after her.
