Former Paralympic champion Oscar Pistorius was released on parole in January 2024 and has been living in the affluent Waterkloof suburb of Pretoria. He works for a modest audio‑engineering firm, participates in local padel matches and Ironman‑type races, and volunteers at the 3Ci church. Pistorius is reported to be in a new romantic relationship with financial consultant Rita Greyling.

Residents describe him as a “phantom” who keeps a low profile, covering his prosthetic legs and avoiding public attention. Community sentiment remains largely negative, with locals relieved that he “has disappeared from the face of the earth.” He has not been hired by any major company and remains barred from professional sport competition.
