Wow, this came out of nowhere.

The decision to release Oscar Pistorius on Friday has been suspended, meaning it’s no ‘feet up in the mansion’ just yet for the disgraced athlete. This below from News24:

Justice spokesperson Mthunzi Mhaga said the minister considered a petition to stop his release and he has referred the decision for review to the parole board.

This implied that the earlier decision to release him on parole “has been suspended”, said Mhaga.

We can call this one a victory for those who think 10 months behind bars isn’t quite penalty enough.
