(ATR) Speaking with Around the Rings about whether Oscar Pistorius could make an Olympic comeback one day, a source from the AFP says,"South Africa might welcome Pistorius back, but he would no longer be an international superstar.
"He would be notorious."
Johannes Myburgh, an AFP correspondent who covered the Pistorius trial in South Africa, spoke withATRlast week following the Paralympian's sentencing.
The National Prosecution Authority in South Africa has announced it will appeal against Pistorius' verdict of culpable homicide and five-year sentence.An appeal from the NPA in this case could add value to future cases involving a charge of culpable homicide, Myburgh explained to ATR.
Myburgh said he has never seen a trial grip South Africans' imaginations like the Pistorius trial did.
