Oscar Pistorius bio

Oscar Leonard Carl Pistorius is a convicted killer and former professional sprinter from South Africa. Due to a congenital abnormality, both of his feet were amputated when he was 11 months old. He was born without the outside of both feet and both fibulae.

Henke and Sheila Pistorius welcomed Oscar Leonard Carl Pistorius into the world on November 22, 1986 in Sandton, Johannesburg, South Africa’s Transvaal Province (now Gauteng Province).

He has an older brother named Carl and a younger sister named Aimée, and he was raised in a Christian environment.

When Pistorius was 15 years old, his mother, who passed away at the age of 43, had a significant impact on his life, according to Pistorius.

Due to his maternal great-grandfather, an Italian immigrant to Kenya, Pistorius comes from an Afrikaner family with some Italian blood. He is conversant in both English and Afrikaans, which is his native tongue.

Pistorius was born without a fibula in either of his legs (fibular hemimelia). Both of his legs were severed in the middle, between the knees and the ankles, when he was just 11 months old.

He went to Pretoria Boys High School and Constantia Kloof Primary School, where he played rugby union for the school’s third XV.
