Valentine’s Day killer Oscar Pistorius is driving a tractor on his prison’s farm to help feed needy schoolkids as he hopes to win over a parole board.
The disgraced Paralympic sprinter, known as the Blade Runner, shot girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp dead at his home in Pretoria, South Africa, 10 years ago tomorrow and will soon make a bid to be released.
And as Reeva’s parents prepared to mark the anniversary of the 29-year-old’s death with a ceremony at the beach where they scattered her ashes, the Mirror was given exclusive details of Pistorius’s life in Atteridgeville prison – a low-security site that has been described as “comfy”.
One jail source said: “Pistorius remains muscular and fit.
“He has been seen driving a red tractor in fields around the prison, being trained to plough a straight furrow.
“The produce of the agriculture, including cauliflower, is then sold to help feed poverty-stricken schoolchildren.”
One official who saw Pistorius, 36, recently said he was a model inmate but added: “You can never tell if a prisoner is just putting on an act until he is released.
