JOHANNESBURG—Former South Africa paralympic superstar Oscar Pistorius, jailed in 2016 for killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, last week met her father, a lawyer for the Steenkamp family said on Friday.

The lawyer, Tania Koen, said Pistorius took part in a process known as victim-offender dialogue—an integral part of South Africa’s restorative justice program that brings parties affected by a crime together in a bid to achieve closure.
