Former Paralympic star Oscar Pistorius finds work after parole release

Oscar Pistorius, the disgraced South African athlete convicted of killing his former partner Reeva Steenkamp, was released on parole in early 2024 and returned to his former suburb of Waterkloof in Pretoria. He now shares a house with his uncle Arnold and a small poodle, under strict supervision that will last until his sentence ends in 2029. According to one outlet sources, Pistorius has secured a role at a sound-engineering company, though the specific position has not been disclosed.

Residents describe him as a ghostly presence, preferring not to engage with him. His parole mandates regular check-ins, mandatory anger-management therapy, and attendance at gender-based violence workshops. The development marks his first known employment since leaving prison, far removed from his previous one outlet career.
