It is claimed that he has received death threats
from fellow inmates, who threatened to poison
his food.
Prisoners say that he only eats tinned
chakalaka, a spicy South African vegetable stew.
The Paralympic star, 28, is living in a solitary cell
in the prison’s hospital wing and stays away
from fellow inamtes, You magazine claims.
A prisoner told them: "He has no contact with
other inmates... there where people fight and
stab each other."
He was sentenced to five years in prison for
manslaughter following an incident on
Valentine's Day 2013, but is expected to serve
as little as ten months.
Pistorius’s lawyer Brian Webber claimed
however that Pistorius has told him nothing of
the alleged threats.
He said: "He has lost weight, there’s no question
about that, but he is in prison."
Pistorius went on trial on March 3 last year, in
Pretoria, South Africa.
He was initially charged with the murder of his
girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, but was convicted
of manslaughter.
During the 2012 Summer Olympics, Pistorius
became the first amputee runner to compete at
an Olympic Games, taking second place in the
400m race with a finishing time of 45.44
seconds.
