"Oscar Pistorius, the athlete infamously known as 'Besotted,' continues his life with his heiress companion, while tragic Reeva's mother, a British national, remains critically ill in the hospital."
In the picturesque town of Waterkloof, South Africa, a vibrant café named The Goddess Cafe stands out, often described as a 'pink paradise' with dishes adorned with rose petals and decorations in cerise colours. Recently, the café has been the setting for a notable visit – that of former Paralympic athlete Oscar Pistorius and his girlfriend, Rita Greyling.
June Steenkamp, the mother of Reeva Steenkamp, who tragically lost her life at the hands of Oscar Pistorius in 2013, is currently critically ill after suffering a stroke nearly three weeks ago. The stroke has left her barely able to speak or recognize people, a particularly heart-rending turn of events given her vow to raise awareness of violence and abuse against women and children through a foundation set up in Reeva's name.
June Steenkamp emigrated to South Africa with her family in 1965 and worked in various roles, including as a hairdresser, dental assistant, and on a department store beauty counter. However, financial difficulties led her to sell her property before her stroke, a fact confirmed by a family friend who spoke to the Daily Mail.
Meanwhile, Oscar Pistorius's wealth stems from a business empire founded by his grandfather Hendrik Pistorius in 1944. His recent participation in an Ironman triathlon marks a part of his sporting comeback, a journey that saw him finish 555th overall and third in the 'physically challenged' category.
Rita Greyling, who bears a resemblance to Reeva Steenkamp, lists 'God. Family. Fashion. Fitness' as things that excite her on Twitter. Her father, Barend Petrus Greyling, is a wealthy farmer in South Africa. Reports suggest that Oscar Pistorius has expressed a desire to marry and start a family.
In a stark contrast to June Steenkamp's critical condition, Oscar Pistorius's appearance seems to be going from strength to strength. He was given permission by his parole officer to compete in a triathlon in Durban three months ago.
Despite the tragic events of the past, June Steenkamp had recently planned to move back to the UK but is now unable to leave due to her critical condition. The value of her property is estimated to be no more than £50,000.
Barry Steenkamp, June's husband, was declared bankrupt after a debtor failed to pay him money he was owed. This unfortunate financial situation adds another layer of complexity to the already heart-wrenching story of the Steenkamp family.
As the story unfolds, the contrasting lives of June Steenkamp and Oscar Pistorius continue to captivate the public, offering a poignant reminder of the impact of tragedy and the resilience of the human spirit.
