The family believes that while the murder and the subsequent trial made international headlines, the focus was on her killer, and did not give Reeva a voice.

Cape Town - Murdered model Reeva Steenkamp's family are planning a documentary series to tell her life story through the eyes of the people who loved her most - her family and close friends.

“Through this documentary, we are determined to tell Reeva’s story, people will get to see another side that seeks to answer some of the questions that have been left unanswered, the truth and who Reeva was. She would want us to do this for her,” said June Steenkamp.Steenkamp, who would have celebrated her 36th birthday on Monday, was killed by her boyfriend, Paralympian Oscar Steenkamp on Valentine's Day 2013. He is currently serving a 13-year prison sentence for the murder.

Earlier this year, former Springbok rugby player Francois Hougaard told the Mail on Sunday rugby correspondent Nik Simon how Reeva's death and the subsequent media frenzy, impacted his life. Hougaard had dated Reeva before she became romantically involved with Pistorius. The two remained friends and regularly spoke to each other on the phone.
