Who is Oscar Pistorius?
They told Sky News that Oscar Pistorius is not the same man who entered the custody of the correctional services in 2013. The mistake that he made is something he will regret for the rest of his life, they added.
Pistorius does not have a plan for the immediate future – other than fulfilling his parole conditions, which includes getting a job.
Family members believe that he will continue to serve society in the most meaningful way that he can, just as he did when he was an athlete.
His disability drove him to help others – whenever and wherever he could – and they think that is unlikely to change.
