Despite his lawyers' attempts to keep it secret, journalists and photographers
quickly established the athlete's bail address in Pretoria.
The 26-year-old is likely to have to endure near constant attention as he
waits for trial, which may happen this year, but could take longer.
News that Mr Pistorius won bail at the Pretoria Magistrates' Court was greeted
by cheers from his family and supporters in court on Saturday, after four
days of high drama in the courtroom.
Critics of the decision, however, have already voiced concern that it sends
the wrong message about how seriously South Africa tackles its high rate of
violence against women.
Mr Pistorius has been accused of murdering his model girlfriend of four
months, Reeva Steenkamp, by shooting her in the head, leg, hip and hand
while she cowered on his toilet. ----- Culled from The Telegraph.
