Oscar Pistorius will be released next week on ‘corrective supervision’, barely 300 days after he was jailed for killing his girlfriend.

The convicted athlete has been recommended as an ‘ideal candidate’ for a new scheme aimed at saving money and making space in South Africa’s overcrowded jails .

Pistorius is likely to be fitted with an electronic tag when he is released, but one of the problems being faced right now is where a tag might be fitted on Pistorius who was a baby when his legs were amputated below the knee since they are typically fixed around the ankle of offenders.


Pistorious was jailed for fatally shooting Reeva Steenkamp, who would have turned 31 next Wednesday, through a locked bathroom door at his home on Valentine’s Day in 2013. He was cleared of murder after telling his trial how he had mistaken his lover of three months for a burglar.

The news he will soon be released has been met with opposition from Reeva’s family .

Prison authorities are still finalising the conditions of the 28-year-old South African’s release into corrective supervision just 10 months into his five year sentence for manslaughter.

The Oscar thing is an injustice. I don't even know what to say about it. He deserves to remain behind bars.

That's how the rich and influential get away with crime
Many poor people are left to rot in awaiting trial.

But don't forget the logic aspect of the law. It makes me sulk attimes

I may not agree with you because Oscar might have spent all his earnings on hiring his lawyer. Its a high profile case. Most times people awaiting trial needs help by loved ones so they can access services that can relieve them. So many have OVERSUFFERED.

The most important prayer of we should not fall a victim

Good for you Oscar. Go and sin no more. And in case you have another gf in the future, dont be so quick to mis-take her for a burglar, ok?

It was even glaring this guy would escape being jailed even during the trial.

It's a big lesson to him. Because he must have spent a huge fortune to earn him that
