Girlfriend’s eerie last message








Just two days after her shocking murder, stunning model Reeva Steenkamp delivered a haunting prerecorded message about leaving a positive message in life that was aired during yesterday’s premiere of her reality show.

“I think the way that you go out, not just your journey in life, but the way that you go out to make your exit is so important,” the 29-year-old girlfriend of “Blade Runner” Oscar Pistorius says in a minute-long video that was released before “Tropika Island of Treasure” aired on South African television.

In the show, celebrities and regular Joes compete in adrenaline-filled challenges for a shot at $113,000. Participants are eliminated each week.

FINAL TRIBUTE: Reeva Steenkamp appeared in a recorded message on South African TV.





“You either made an impact in a positive way or a negative way,” the cover girl says between shots of her kissing and swimming with dolphins during filming in Jamaica.

“But just maintain integrity, maintain class, and just always be true to yourself.”

Steenkamp’s poignant message was recorded months before she was shot dead on Valentine’s Day at the Pretoria mansion of Pistorius, 26, the Olympian double amputee who has been charged with her murder.

At the end of the video, she seems to speak almost directly to her anguished family and friends — although she’s talking about leaving Jamaica.

“And I’m going to miss you all so much,” she says. “I love you very, very much.”

Steenkamp was looking forward to yesterday’s premiere of “Tropika Island” and had asked her family to follow along.

“Reeva would’ve liked us to watch it,” the budding model’s uncle, Mike Steenkamp, told People. “She indicated that before the tragedy.”

Producers of the show said not airing the premiere would have been an “injustice” to her memory.

“Everyone is sending people that knew her among the family and friends just the most beautiful tweets,” said Sarit Tomlinson, Steenkamp’s publicist.

“You’ll be able to get a sense a little bit of who she was,” Tomlinson added of the show. “She’s just such an incredible, compassionate human being.”
