Durban - I would like to meet Oscar Pistorius and
forgive the man who killed my niece – these are the words of Reeva Steenkamp’s
grieving uncle, Mike.
“That way I can find more peace with the
situation,” he told CNN’s Drew Griffin during an interview on Thursday.
Olympic athlete Pistorius shot and killed his
girlfriend, 29-year-old Reeva at his Pretoria home on Valentine’s Day. He was
charged with Reeva’s murder but has claimed he mistook her for an intruder. He
is out on bail of R1 million and is awaiting trial in June.
Steenkamp said he would forgive Pistorius whether
the shooting was an accident or not. “Whatever, whatever the outcome. I feel
with my belief and if Christ could forgive when he died on the cross, why can’t
I?” he said.
