Read our privacy policy Oscar Pistorius will be released from prison on Friday after he was granted parole nearly 11 years after killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine’s Day in 2013. He was granted parole on 24 November 2023 to take effect on 5 January 2024 South Africa's Department of Correctional Services said in November that Pistorius would complete the remainder of his sentence in the country's community corrections system. Pistorius will also have to attend programmes on gender-based violence and continue therapy sessions on anger management, a lawyer for the Steenkamp family said shortly after he was granted parole. Prior to his parole, Pistorius also participated in the restorative justice programme – a system introduced after the end of apartheid to deal with apartheid-era crimes in a more participative and reconciliatory way.
