OSCAR Pistorius has reportedly found a new woman just months after he was released on parole 11 years after he murdered Reeva Steenkamp.

The disgraced former Paralympian, 38, served nine years behind bars for gunning down his partner but he has apparently made time to find a new girlfriend since his release.

The double amputee dubbed “Blade Runner” for the prosthetics he used to compete in the Olympics and Paralympics was sentenced to 13 years and five months for murder.

Pistorius killed Steenkamp, 29, when he fired four bullets through the locked door of their bathroom in the early hours of Valentine’s Day 2013, in Pretoria, South Africa.

Pistorius has reportedly found a new partner after he was released from jail and granted parole on 5 January.

The convicted killer is said to be dating his family friend Rita Greyling, 33, according to South African newspaper Netwerk24.

Greyling, a business management consultant from Wakkerstroom, in eastern South Africa, has reportedly kept her romance with Pistorius quiet.

His reported new fling’s family also made headlines in 2022 when someone died at her brother Ghini’s bachelor party.

Sources close to the reported couple said the disgraced Olympian is attempting to revamp his life.

A source said: “He is trying to rebuild his life in a low-key way and avoids bars and restaurants and the general public and is flying under the radar.

“He is slowly trying to reintegrate into society but that is being done through families that his family have been close to for decades and is slowly slowly.

“The word on the street for three months now is that he is dating again.”

Pistorius moved into his wealthy uncle’s £2 million Pretoria home, and relies on him for protection.

His tycoon uncle Arnold, who made his millions from property and tourism, hired armed guards with attack dogs, while his nephew lives in a cottage on his grounds.

Part of his rebuilding has reportedly included volunteer work at a nearby Dutch Reform Church,  as he has reportedly found it difficult to find work with his record.

Pistorius’ sentence ends in 2029 and he is subject to certain conditions for life outside jail.

These include attending therapy for anger and “gender-based violence issues”.

Steenkamp family friend previously said Pistorius should not expect forgiveness and issued a stark warning to him.

They said: “Oscar will get the shock of his life when he is back out in the real world.

“It’s a very different world where gender-based violence is now taken far more seriously.

“I don’t know if he will be able to cope with no longer being the centre of attention and the superstar everybody wanted to be around. He will always be looking over his shoulder.”

The former Golden Boy of athletics claimed he woke in the early hours thinking a burglar was breaking in unaware his girlfriend Reeva was in the bathroom, on Valentine’s Day 2013.

He fired repeated shots through the door killing her instantly with special “dum dum” bullets but Reeva’s family have always claimed it was intentional.

The horrific shooting and his trial caught the world’s attention as he was initially jailed for culpable homicide which was later upgraded to murder.

Sydney beefed up to play boxer Christy Martin[/caption]

The busty star is well and truly flexing her acting chops in her latest flick, Black Bear.

It sees her transform into boxing legend Christy Martin as she tells the story of her illustrious prize-fighting career and near murder at the hands of her trainer and husband Jim Martin.

For the role, Sydney trained hard in the gym and packed on muscle. It led to a lot of trolling as cruel keyboard warriors criticized her looks.

She tackled the abuse head on, sharing a collection of hurtful comments on Instagram.

One read: “Too pale and she needs to lose a few pounds around the middle.”

Others called her “frumpy,” “average chunky Yankee girl” and “butterface.”

Another said: “She’s really not very attractive. Not sure why she’s so popular. I had a better body at 37 before I got pregnant with my youngest”

The comments were followed by a montage of Sydney working out and looking in fantastic shape.

She also revealed her slick boxing skills in the ring and on a speedbag.

Christy took the boxing world by storm in the 90s, winning the WBC title and appearing on the cover of Sports Illustrated – the first female boxer to do so.

She was nicknamed The Coal Miner’s Daughter after her father’s job and became controversial promoter Don King’s first female client when she joined his stable in 1993. 

Christy fought on the undercard of Mike Tyson‘s heavyweight world title clash with Brit fighter Frank Bruno and put on a masterclass that many say outshone the main event.

Tyson said in a new Netflix documentary: “I believe I was in jail and they were talking about “Coal Miner’s Daughter”, she’s knocking out people, she’s really exciting.

“I’m like, ‘Get the f*** out of here.’ But then I started going to some of her fights.

“She throws a lot of hard punches, crowd-pleasing. She gave everybody their money‘s worth. So I said, ‘Put Christy Martin on my undercard’.”

The pinnacle of her 59-fight career came in 2009 when she beat Dakota Stone for the WBC female super welterweight title.

However, she made headlines for devastating reasons the following year when she was stabbed several times, shot in the chest and left for dead by her husband after a row at their Florida home.

The ugly incident unfolded after Christy told Jim she wanted a divorce from their toxic relationship and was seeing her high school girlfriend Sherry Lusk.

Christy said: “He stopped everything and just left me laying there… I could hear my lung gurgling. So I know it’s filling up with blood.

“He’s walking in and out of the room to see if I had to died yet. I’m begging him, ‘Please don’t let me die. I’m sorry Jim, I made a mistake. Truth is, I love you.’

“But then by the time I realised he can’t let me live I was like, ‘Oh, f*** you. I never loved you. You’ve been a piece of s*** the whole time. I’m your personal ATM, you’ve done nothing but use me’.”

Jim did eventually walk back towards Christy – only to fire a shot into her torso.

Christy remembered: “He stands at my feet with my own pink 9mm.

“I told him, ‘You don’t have the balls to shoot me.’ And he shot me.

“My mind’s like, ‘No, I don’t wanna die. I have to get out. I have to save me. Some way, I have to save me’.”

The writing had been on the wall for their relationship for a long time.

KNOCKOUT BLOW

As Christy’s career reached its height in the early 2000s – her private life was the opposite.

She wanted to bring in a new trainer – but Jim would not tolerate the thought – and made it known during a sparring session.

Christy said: “He knocked me out. I’d never been knocked out. I’d never been dropped even.

“You know when you’re hitting someone in the right spot. You know when you’re hitting someone hard enough to knock them out.

“He knew exactly what he was doing. Is it abuse? Yeah, he’s smart. He disguised it.

“All I wanted to do was leave him, all I wanted to do was live my life freely.”

Jim Martin would later be sentenced to 25 years in prison for attempted murder.

The vicious attack left Christy with severe PTSD. Amazingly, she returned to the ring in 2011 when she lost a rematch with Stone.

She fought for a final time in 2012, ending her sporting career with a defeat to Mia St John.

Since then, she has found love again with former boxing foe Lisa Holewyne, whom she beat by unanimous decision in 2001.

A WOMAN has opened up about the frustrating experience she had at a Hyundai dealership when trying to buy a car.

The customer nearly paid $3,000 extra before she did a bit of research and found she was getting an unfair deal.

TikTok user @molybdenum96 posted a video that racked up over 114,000 likes and hundreds of comments.

She captioned it, “Just two gals not being taken seriously at a car dealership.”

Molybdenum96 went on to explain that she or her friend had a master’s degree in computer science and wanted to buy a car in cash that day.

She wrote that the other girl “hasn’t finished college yet, but her dad is a product liability lawyer that sues car companies for a living.”

At the end of the video, it appears the sales clerk offered the pair a Hyundai Santa Fe from 2019 at a price of $20,000.

However, the exact same car appeared to be advertised on their website for under $17,000 – suggesting they were trying to charge her $3,000 extra than what was listed online.

What’s more, the price of $17,000 seems steep enough as it is for the car.

One commenter under the video wrote, “$17,000 for a car with almost 150k miles is insane.”

The original poster replied, “It had so many dings on it too.”

However, other commenters offered advice on how to approach this scenario differently to be taken more seriously as women.

One wrote, “Ask for a saleswoman. If they don’t have one, let them know you’re not interested in doing business with them.”

Another said, “Having worked at a dealership, the guys talk in the back office and it’s rarely nice.”

molybdenum96 appeared to appreciate all the advice and responded to a lot of the commenters.

She added, “We were ignored because he thought we could not afford a financial plan much less the whole car lol.”

This comes as a Hyundai dealership in Michigan was recently shut down after sellers used sneaky tricks that duped customers and put the public in imminent harm.

Michigan state regulators found a raft of violations when they investigated the Hyundai dealership in Detroit.

The owners of LaFontaine Hyundai of Livonia admitted to the wrongdoing, and has now paid out a fee to get its license back.

Elsewhere, the best-selling Korean car brand recently named a new CEO.

They announced the appointment of Randy Parker as their new head of operations and functions in the US, Canada and Mexico.

Parker will also oversee their luxury car arm Genesis in the US and Canada, as well as Hyundai‘s manufacturing facilities in Alabama and Georgia.

WAYNE MARDLE is a darts legend who now works as a pundit and commentator for Sky Sports.

He is seen as the voice of the sport on the channel and is known for his Hawaiian shirts and energetic dance moves – Mardle will once again take to the microphone for the PDC World Darts Championships 2024/2025.

Who is Wayne Mardle?

Wayne Elliot Mardle was born on May 10, 1973 in Dagenham, east London.

He is often referred to as Hawaii 501 — a play on the TV series Hawaii Five-O — because he began wearing Hawaiian shirts after losing a bet.

His dad taught him to play darts from the age of 11 and he took to it like a fish to water, hitting his first 180 within a fortnight.

Wayne won his first competition at the Double Top pub on his 13th birthday.

He has gone one to have a long career in the sport he loves, first as a professional player, then as a commentator and pundit.

Mardle also works as a professional speaker at events and exhibitions, and has set up the Wayne Mardle School of Darts for anyone wishing to improve their game.

How long has Wayne Mardle been commentating on the darts?

Wayne started commentating at the 2011 PDC World Darts Championship alongside Sid Waddell and Dave Clark — as well as predicting results in the tournament with Eric Bristow and Rod Harrington.

He has gone on to become a regular commentator and pundit for Sky Sports.

Mardle famously produced an iconic piece of commentary during the 2023 PDC World final, when Michael Smith triumphed over Michael van Gerwen.

He could be heard screaming “I can’t speak” after van Gerwen narrowly missed a nine-darter and Smith hit one with his next visit.

What did Wayne Mardle do before becoming a darts commentator?

Before lending his expertise of the game to viewers of the sport as a pundit and commentator, Wayne was a professional player who reached the world championship semi-finals five times — four in the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) and one in the British Darts Organisation (BDO).

He also lost in three major finals to Phil Taylor — the 2003 World Matchplay, and the Las Vegas Classic in both 2004 and 2005.

Speaking about why he stopped playing, Wayne told the Guardian in 2021: “I can honestly say I was fraught with the pressure, with the tension.

“My head was swimming, my arm was tight, my hand was cold, my feet were freezing.

“I don’t want to be that pressurised ever again. And you know what? I absolutely hated it.”

Is Wayne Mardle married and does he have children?

Wayne is married to Donna Mardle.

The couple like to keep their private life out of the public domain, so there is very little information about them available.

But he did let on that they don’t have kids in a post on X, formerly Twitter, in 2018.

He posted a picture of his brown Labrador Sherlock, along with the words: “Donna and I have no kids so our life revolves around this beast.

“In two days I’ll be home and kissing him all over. Who in there right mind wouldn’t want to snog him!!! Look at him!!! What a sexy beast.”
