Oscar Pistorius’s dad wants to debate Gerrie Nel over murder trial ‘LIES’

Oscar Pistorius’s dad Henke wants to play lawyer against Gerrie Nel, who successfully prosecuted convicted murderer, Oscar Pistorius.

Oscar Pistorius’s dad, Henke, has challenged state prosecutor Gerrie Nel to debate on the “facts” surrounding his son’s murder sentence for the death of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp.

The former Paralympian shot and killed his partner after mistaking her for a home intruder at his Pretoria mansion.  He has served half of his 13 years and five months behind bars, and is now on parole.

Henke believes his son is guilty of manslaughter and has accused the state of being “incompetent” and “liars”.

OSCAR PISTORIUS’S DAD WANTS TO CONFRONT TRIAL STATE PROSECUTOR

Speaking on the Piers Morgan Uncensored show last week, Oscar Pistorius’s dad Henke accused the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) of being “incompetent and dishonest”

He particularly accused state prosecutor Gerrie Nel of “misleading and lying to the court”

Challenging him to a one-on-one, Henke said: “I want to offer to have a debate with Gerrie Nel live on TV. I would love it”.

Henke said that Oscar – who had “no intention to kill” – was “mauled” by Gerrie in the courtroom.

Oscar was just an athlete. Here he was faced with a guy called the ‘Bulldog’ by the press. It was so unfair to leave him exposed to a guy like that.

Henke demanded the “same rules as court” in his face-off with Gerrie Nel.

“I ask the questions, he can just say ‘yes or no’. Let’s see if he will accept that, please”.

MANSLAUGHTER UGRADED TO MURDER
Oscar Pistorius – who shot and killed Reeva Steenkamp on 14 February 2013 – was convicted of culpable homicide in October 2014. This was later upgraded to murder in December 2015. He was handed a six-year prison sentence.

However, the Supreme Court of Appeal increased his jail term to 13 years and five months following an unsuccessful appeal in November 2017.

In January 2024, Oscar was released on parole after serving half of his sentence behind bars. He will serve the remainder of his sentence under strict parole conditions until it expires in 2029.

WHERE IS GERRIE NEL NOW?
In 2017, Gerrie Nel – nicknamed the “Bulldog” over his tenacity in the courtroom – retired from the NPA. He has since joined AfriForum’s private prosecuting unit.

Coincidentally, he joins Barry Bateman – AfriForum’s spokesperson – who defended Oscar Pistorius during his high-profile trial.

As in the case against Oscar, Gerrie has helped to prosecute the following high-profile people…

George Bizos’s son Alexi for assaulting his wife, Monique van Oosterhout
University of Cape Town Professor Pierre de Vos for allegedly distributing child pornography on social media.
Businessman Jaco Swart, whose brutal assault against his wife Nicoleen went viral in 2028.
He is also representing the following cases;

Bergview College Principal Jaco Pieterse who was implicated in the alleged rape of Cwecwe
The family of the late Senzo Meyiwa, the Orlando Pirates goalkeeper who was killed in 2014.
The widow of police detective Charl Kinnear, who was killed in 2020.
