Reeva Steenkamp’s mother has warned Oscar Pistorius’s new girlfriend that the disgraced Paralympian is still a ‘danger to women’.
Pistorius, 38, is said to have found new love just months after being released from prison on parole having served nine years for killing his girlfriend at his South African home in 2013.
The double amputee dubbed ‘Blade Runner’ for the prosthetics he used to compete in the Olympics and Paralympics murdered Reeva in his bathroom.
He still insists he killed the 29-year-old law graduate and model by mistake and has now found a new partner that eerily resembles his ex.
Sources close to the former athlete say he has entered a romantic relationship with Rita Greyling, a business management consultant from Wakkerstroom in Mpumulanga.
Upon hearing the news, Reeva’s mother June warned the 33-year-old that her new boyfriend ‘still has a problem with anger’.
Speaking to The Sun, the 78-year-old said: ‘I don’t understand how she doesn’t see a red flag about him because he has not lost his temper problem.
‘He was supposed to be under anger management when he was in jail and at one stage I stopped him coming out because I was annoyed that he wasn’t having treatment.’

Upon hearing the news, Reeva’s mother June warned Rita Greyling that her new boyfriend ‘still has a problem with anger’.
Pistorius claimed he woke in the early hours thinking a burglar was breaking in unaware his girlfriend Reeva was in the loo.
He fired repeated shots through the door killing her instantly with special ‘dum dum’ bullets but Reeva’s family have always claimed it was intentional.
The horrific shooting on Valentine’s Day 2013 shocked the world and led to him being jailed for culpable homicide which was later upgraded to murder.
Pistorius was released into a media storm when he was granted parole on January 5, 2024 and has fallen in love again since returning to the normal world.
Sources close to the couple have confirmed to Netwerk24 that Pistorius and Greyling are in a romantic relationship though details are being kept strictly private.
June, who founded the Reeva Steenkamp Foundation Against The Abuse of Women and Children, said it was ‘painful’ to see her daughter’s killer back in a relationship, adding that she was ‘worried’ for her.
New love Rita’s family have also made headlines when in late 2022 her brother Ghini was involved in a devastating incident at Henbase Lodge, Morgenzon.
That November Willem Kruger, 29, drowned during a party and police in December 2023 said that his death had been shifted from accidental to a murder inquiry.

Friends said that the tragedies that surround both the Pistorius and Greyling families drew them together and their reported romance marks a fresh start for both.
Rita has a successful career as a business management consultant and Pistorius is trying to rebuild his life after his release into his rich uncle’s care.
A source close to Pistorius said: ‘He is trying to rebuild his life in a low-key way and avoids bars and restaurants and the general public and is flying under the radar.
‘He is slowly trying to reintegrate into society but that is being done through families that his family have been close to for decades and is slowly slowly.
‘The word on the street for three months now is that he is dating again’ she said.
Pistorius is living in a cottage in the grounds of his multi-millionaire uncle Arnold’s secure mansion and is doing volunteer work at a Dutch Reform Church nearby.
His sentence ends in 2029 and as on parole is subject to checks from the Department of Corrections at any time of day to check his residence test for alcohol and drugs.
He is not allowed out of the immediate area without informing the local police force and is not allowed a firearm or any contact with Reeva Steenkamp’s mum or sister.
Pistorius is said to have difficulty finding work with pals saying employers see him as ‘toxic’ so volunteers at the church used by his family cleaning and sweeping.
