On Saturday at 6:30 pm I was
watching Tropika Island of treasurer where Reeva Steenkamp is featured as one
of the contestants. It was sad to think she won’t get to watch the show.
Steenkamp seems to have been
such an amazing free spirited person. It must be unbelievable to the Steenkamp
family that she is really gone. To make the pain even more unbearable the
tragedy makes headlines for every news source.
The family is still in shock
and they need time to mourn their loved one. But how can they? When Steenkamp’s
name is all over the news. And what gets to me the most is that the news is
more about her alleged killer Oscar Pistorious than it is about her.
Steenkamp was dating
Pistorious at the time of the incident.
When Steenkamp died,
somebody lost a daughter, a friend, a sister and a colleague but that doesn’t
seem to be the priority right now. All I hear, is Pistorious this, Pistorious
that. And how many sponsors he is going to lose and that he broke down in court
during his first appearance in court.
For one day, just one day. I
wish the news could be about Steenkamp. Celebrating her life and sympathizing
with her family during this difficult time. Maybe the family could see that she
had an impact in other people’s lives and she will be solely missed. May her
soul rest in peace.
