Pistorius is set to leave the prison on January 5, 2024, the BBC broadcaster reported.
In 2013, Pistorius shot his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, dead, later claiming that he mistook her for a burglar. In 2014, he was sentenced to a five-year prison term, but was released early from prison a year later and placed under house arrest. Pistorius was later sentenced to 13 years and five months in prison for premeditated murder in November 2017, after a series of protests from prosecutors.
Prior to the parole hearing, Steenkamp's mother stated that she did not think the former athlete was rehabilitated since he had not demonstrated genuine regret.
"Rehabilitation requires someone to engage honestly, with the full truth of his crime and the consequences thereof. Nobody can claim to have remorse if they're not able to engage fully with the truth," June Steenkamp said in a statement to the board.
However, her spokesperson informed the board that she was not against Pistorius's parole. This was Pistorius's second attempt at parole in less than eight months, and the hearing was place in the correctional facility outside of Pretoria where he is now being imprisoned.
When the board determined that Pistorius had not served the minimum amount of time in custody before being released, he lost his initial bid in March.
Last month, the Constitutional Court declared that to be an error, opening the door for another hearing.
