June Steenkamp, the mother of Oscar Pistorius’ late girlfriend Reeva, has given a warning to the disgraced Paralympian’s new girlfriend, saying she could one day find herself on the receiving end of one of his nasty tantrums.
Pistorius served nine years of a 15-year prison sentence for the 2013 murder of his model girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, who he shot through the bathroom door of his Pretoria East home on Valentine’s Day that year.
The disgraced athlete was finally granted parole in January while still insisting he killed Reeva by mistake.
It has now emerged that Pistorius is now in a relationship with Rita Greyling, said to be a Reeva lookalike by some.
Greyling, a business management consultant from Wakkerstroom, in eastern South Africa, has reportedly kept her romance with Pistorius quiet.
Speaking after revelation of the relationship, June said Pistorius’ new girlfriend needed to be careful or she could be his next victim.
“I don’t understand how she doesn’t see a red flag about him because he has not lost his temper problem.
“He was supposed to be under anger management when he was in jail and at one stage I stopped him coming out because I was annoyed that he wasn’t having treatment. He was angry – and he still has a problem with anger,” she said.
June said the double amputee still posed considerably danger to women.
“He’s still a danger to women. Reeva only knew him for three months and she was dead and he’s never confessed.”
