Oscar Pistorius sighted a year after his release on parole
- Oscar Pistorius, convicted of murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, participated in a Triathlon in Durban a year after his parole release.
- Pistorius competed in the Ironman 70.3 competition, reportedly with permission from his parole officer, according to Netwerk24.
- An attorney for Pistorius, Conrad Dormehl, confirmed his participation in the Durban race.
- Singabakho Nxumalo of the Department of Correctional Services is investigating whether Pistorius had the necessary permission to compete, as it would require approval for inter-district travel.
- Pistorius, known as 'Blade Runner,' was released on parole in January 2024 after serving over half his sentence for the 2013 murder of Steenkamp and is on parole until 2029; he finished 555th overall and third in the 'physically challenged' category in the Triathlon.
