The couple is famous. She, 29, a former law student, is a well-known television presenter specializing in fashion and a model who has lent her face to multiple brands. He, 27, is an extraordinary sprinter, nicknamed “Blade Runner”. Handicapped from birth, he broke all the world records one by one by running on carbon prostheses which take the place of his legs. The first disabled athlete to compete in an able-bodied competition, he was also the first to qualify for the Olympic Games. The couple is beautiful, magazine photos show them both smiling in their youthful glow. Reeva and Oscar can’t set foot outside their ultra-secure Pretoria home without being chased by the paparazzi.
