Her best friend Gina Myers said yesterday it was “ironic” that in death model Reeva had found the fame she had been striving for.
She revealed that in late January Reeva, 29, sent her a text message that read: “G [Gina] our lives are about to change I can feel it.”
Two weeks later she was dead after being shot three times by Pistorius in the early hours of Valentine’s Day.
Reeva lived with make-up artist Gina and her parents in Johannesburg.
Gina said: “It’s ironic because she wanted to be famous for the right reasons.
"Reeva had a big voice and a big heart with big dreams. I feel like her voice is the loudest it has ever been.”
She added: “At the end of the day an innocent girl was killed and the whole world wants the truth to come out.
“We would like a foundation or something to come from this to speak Reeva’s voice. I will make sure something happens.”
South African sprinter Pistorius, 26, said he shot the model believing her to be an intruder at his Pretoria mansion.
He faces trial for premeditated murder.
