South Africa's Oscar Pistorius is struggling to find employment after prison as members of his church see him as a 'shadow' of the man he once was, report says.
The double-amputee former South African track star Oscar Pistorius is struggling to find post-prison employment as members of his church see him as a 'shadow' of the man he once was, according to a new report. Pistorius, now 37, served nine years of a 13-year prison sentence for fatally shooting his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, 29, on Valentine's Day in 2013.
He's too toxic to work with now,' a member of South Africa's Paralympic Committee told the New York Post, after Pistorius allegedly reached out trying to find employment there. 'There's nothing for him here.' As he struggles to find work, he is volunteering at a local church as a handyman and janitor, according to the report. He is also a member of the parish there with his uncle. Another church member told the Post that Pistorius is cold, unfriendly and keeps to himself.
Before he was a killer, Pistorius was a Paralympic track star who earned the name 'Blade Runner' due to the prosthetic legs he ran on in races with able-bodied men. He made history when he competed in the 2012 London Olympics. He was born without fibula bones in either leg and had amputations below both knees before his first birthday. Fox News' Elizabeth Pritchett contributed to this report.
