Sky News (DStv 402) is broadcasting in heavy rotation a clip of the dead model from the show which appears to be part of her eventual exit interview from the reality production as she sits under a palm tree.
It's not clear why this specific clip and material was made available to Sky News, since the show is still to start in South Africa although South African viewers are now being shown this specific part featuring Reeva Steenkamp who was one of the contestants in the fifth series set in Jamaica.
Reality shows or broadcasters usually don't release or make available clips from crucial parts of their shows ahead of time that contain revealing information. It's strange that Sky News has this particular clip and is running it.
"I don't have any regrets and I don't have any bitterness," says Reeva Steenkamp, seen sitting under a palm tree with the sea in the background and a white beach house.
"I take home with me so many amazing memories and things that are in here [point to head] and in here [point to heart] that I'll treasure forever."
Reeva Steenkamp is also seen surfing across water, hugging a fellow contestant, and drifting with another contestant on a raft on a river in the clips shown on Saturday on Sky News of Tropika Island of Treasure 5.
SABC1 and Stimulii said Tropika Island of Treasure 5 is going ahead and won't be pulled from the schedule despite Reeva Steenkamp's violent death after she was shot in the head in the early hours of Thursday morning inside Oscar Pistorius' home.
SABC1 told the press on Friday that :following consultation with the Steenkamp family, Mrs Steenkamp, mother to the late Reeva Steenkamp, expressed her desire for the show to continue as scheduled."
On Saturday Associated Press reports that Reeva Steenkamp's cousin said that family had not been consulted by anyone from the show or the SABC, but that they were not against it being aired because Reeva Steenkamp was "proud of being in the show".
