Oscar Pistorius – whose legs had to be amputated at the age of 11 months – is a six-time Paralympic champion, he holds the world record in 100 meters with a time of 10.91 and in 200 meters with 21.30. In addition, the South African athlete running with artificial legs was the first to earn the right to compete in the “regular” Olympics. At the 2012 London Games, he finished second in the 400 with an excellent time of 45.44, but was unable to reach the semi-finals.
Everything seemed fine and good, but on February 14, 2013, on Valentine’s Day, the news exploded like a bomb that he killed his beautiful girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, with four shots in their home. Oscar defended himself by saying that he thought he was shooting at a burglar, but after a long trial he was sentenced to 13 years and 5 months in prison. Although Steenkamp’s mother opposed the former athlete’s release, according to South African law, a convict can be released on parole after serving half of his sentence – and this happened in January.

It has already emerged from the parole papers that Pistorius undertakes voluntary work at the church associated with his uncle. As a caretaker, he also sweeps the floor when asked.
Aida Govender, who attended the church recently, said she didn’t even know Pistorius.

According to another member of the congregation, the former athlete is not very friendly with others and does not like to talk to strangers.
