So Oscar's out of prison and in the cushy environment of his uncles home. I've been wondering what he is and isn't allowed to do and found this story outlining the conditions on eNCA's site: Pistorius released: parole conditions outlined

Interesting that they say he isn't allowed out at night because the first thing I pictured when I heard he was being released was him getting into a brawl in a nightclub. If people get aggro with him I don't trust that he isn't going to get aggro back.

As for the conidtion that he must Reeva's parents if they want him to... would you if you were them? It's obviously a mega decision for them.

! Yesterday eNCA had a story about Oscar's parole conditions and today the SABC says that the Correctional Services department won't release the details of his parole.

A story about it here: Correctional Services not divulging Pistorius’ parole conditions

So which is it?!

The eNCA story's very specific so it definitely seems the most likely. It's ridiculous that we have to guess which news story is correct!

I've been thinking about the whole situation for Reeva's parents and I've decided that I don't like how they've been put in a position where they've been asked to meet Oscar. I've just found this story which says that that the Correctional Minister is pushing for their reconciliation and I'm shocked:

Minister pushes for reconciliation between Pistorius, Steenkamps

How can an outsider possibly put these kinds of expectations on the family?? - he says he wants it as part of their "healing process" but he's not a psychologist who knows what's best for them emotionally. It's full of so much pressure when they've been through so much already. It's also made it all so public - that they have to "decide" if they want to see him and now everyone's waiting to see what they do.
