Paralympic athlete Oscar Pistorius, who was convicted of killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in 2013, is up for parole after completing half of his 13year prison term. The Correctional Supervision and Parole Board will decide if Pistorius is ready for social reintegration and determine his placement date if he is granted parole. Reeva Steenkamp’s mother won’t be attending the parole hearing, but her victim impact statement will be read by advocate Annade ThiartHofmeyr.
