So the judge Thokozile Masipa has set the date where Oscar will get his sentencing.Oscar was accused of murdering his model girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp,before the trial even started he has lost most of his sponsorships and endorsments.For example Nike pulled out the time they heard he shot his girlfriend.
According to the news Oscar was one of the world's most in-demand sport personalities for marketers.Now he is sitting without any sponsorships and companies like Oakley has terminated their contract with him.Even M-net had pulled down their billboards which had Oscar's face on them.
The trial will have a negative effect on his reputation because most organisations can not associate themselves with individuals who have criminal records.Oscar will have to start from the bottom to make people trust him again as a brand,it wont be a easy ride but he has to try his best.On the 11th September he will be charged with cases like premeditated murder,manslaughter or culpable homicide,discharging firearms in public and illegal possession of ammunition.
Most of us will say Oscar is not left with much besides his family because he has lost of his fans just because of this case.It is really painful to think that not so long ago you has everything but now you stand at the edge of loosing everything you had just because of one mistake or action you took without thinking.
Guys lets just hope his sentencing will make everyone happy and people will not see it as unfair or anything and that the Steenkamp family will find closure.What do you guys think,it is fair or not?
I honest believe in the saying that says no one is guilty until proven guilty by that. I don't mean his innocent but then it depends on the decision that will be taken by court.im just hoping for a decision that will be fair
ReplyDeleteHi Boitumelo,I agree with you,we can not say whether he is guilty or not.Lets just wait for the 11 of September when the sentencing will take place.
ReplyDeleteI honestly think that despite the outcome of the verdict his life will change, in fact has changed forever. .We will just have to wait and hear what the judge says, but I'm a huge fan of Oscar and I will be supporting him despite what will happen because I still see some good in him...
ReplyDeleteHey Dazzling Dee,I agree with you Oscar's life has changed from the moment he shot Reeva and will never be the same.I am also happy that there is still someone who still looks up to him after this trial and hope there is still more people out there because he will need his fans after this trial
DeleteI'm with Dazzeling Dee, I am a big fan of Oscar but what he did is a serious issue. I doubt I'll be as big as a fan of him as I was before, but all we can do is wish the best for his sentencing and his reputation especially.
ReplyDeleteYes Tshegofatso,most people are no longer his fans because of the trial.We are all hoping the sentencing will be something the nation will be happy with.
ReplyDeleteOscar's reputation will never be the same and people should stop judging him.He has lost almost everything because of this case,I am still a fan of his and hope he still has more loyal ones out there.
ReplyDeleteWell done miss P! I honestly don't see how he'll regain his reputation, even if he does no-one will want to be associated with a murderer.
ReplyDeleteHi Portia,I understand that he has been going through alot for these past four months and so is Reeva's family.I think it is not fair that people are still judging him,he lost the love of his life.
ReplyDeleteHey miss N,I know it wont be easy for him to regain his reputation but he can start slowly after this whole trial.It wont be a easy road but if he wants to rebuild himself he has to start at the bottom again.
ReplyDeleteI used to be Oscars number one fan but after this incident my mindset of him being my role model have changed not that am judging him but am being realistic and he will have to do more to protect his reputation that is already ruined, but anyway wonderful blog you posted miss kanonge
ReplyDeletehi mr Ntwanano,I agree this incident has changed alot of people's mindset about him,he is no longer seen as that hero he was seen two years ago.Yes alot has to be done to protect the tittle that he has left of his reputation.
ReplyDeletei do believe that we not perfect as people so why judge Oscar for this?because we don't know what exactly happened that day people should stop badmouthing him,only God can judge him
ReplyDeleteYes Kamogelo,I agree with you and thank you for the comment
