Social media has gone abuzz with tributes and heart-warming messages as today marks what would have been the 32nd birthday of the late Reeva Steenkamp.

Steenkamp, who was shot and killed by her boyfriend, Oscar Pistorius on 14 February 2013, has certainly not been forgotten by her friends both local and international.

Her parents, Barry and June Steenkamp have openly said that they will never be able to get over their daughter’s death and according to reports, will be spreading her ashes in her home town of Port Elizabeth along with some close family and friends.
