According to the South African media Netwerk24, Oscar Pistorius, 38, would no longer be single. For three months, he would be in a relationship with a certain Rita Greyling, a South African business management consultant. Aged 33, this pretty blonde would have a strong resemblance to Reeva Steenkamp. She would be a long-time friend of the family of Oscar Pistorius. One of his relatives had made the front page of the tabloids in 2022 following a tragedy.
Indeed, while Rita Greyling's brother, Ghini Greyling, was celebrating his bachelor party at Henbase Lodge, west of Pretoria, his best friend, Willem Kruger, had disappeared. The 29-year-old was eventually found drownedin a river nine days later. While the accident theory was initially favored, the investigation would eventually reveal a murder, still unsolved to this day. This case has cost the chronicle of miscellaneous facts in South Africa.
A new start for Oscar Pistorius?
It is therefore in the arms of a long-time friend that Oscar Pistorius seems to be living happily. Which is not without worrying his ex-mother-in-law. In the columns of the Sun, Reeva Steenkamp's mother reacted strongly. “I don't understand how [Rita Greyling] doesn't see a red flag in her subject”, she commented by attacking his ex-son-in-law.
“He hasn't solved his temper problem and isn't taking any treatment for it. I'm worried because he has anger in him. He still represents a danger to women. Reeva only knew him for three months before he died and he never admitted anything”, she continued. In 2013, on Valentine's Day, Reeva Steenkamp was shot four times while she was taking refuge in the bathroom after a domestic dispute with the man who was, at the time, nicknamed Blade Runner.
