Model Reeva Steenkamp was excited to celebrate Valentine’s Day with loved ones, including boyfriend Oscar Pistorius …
South Africans are waking up to another Valentine’s Day, the day model Reeva Steenkamp was tragically murdered by her boyfriend, Oscar Pistorius.
Ironically, the “day of love” would be her last after she was shot dead by Pistorius, who allegedly mistook her for an intruder in his Pretoria mansion.
While Oscar has been given a second chance after being granted parole last month, sadly, the same can’t be said for the bubbly blonde.
REEVA STEENKAMP’S LAST IG POST REMEMBERED GBV VICTIM
Reeva Steenkamp’s last Instagram post was on 10 February 2013 – just four days before her death.
Referencing gender-based violence and the gruesome death of Cape Town woman Anene Booysen, she shared: “I woke up in a happy, safe home this morning. Not everyone did”.
Just a few days later, South Africa would wake up to the tragic news of Reeva’s death. According to Pistorius, he shot and killed his girlfriend after mistaking her for an intruder. However, during his high-profile trial, the court heard evidence of how the former Paralympian was jealous, hot-tempered, and trigger-happy.
