Paralympian Oscar Pistorius, who is charged with murdering his girlfriend, has won an appeal over his bail restrictions, permitting him to leave South Africa to compete in international competition, with conditions.
His lawyers told the North Guateng High Court that while the Olympic and Paralympic athlete had no immediate plans to compete, he might in time need to run at track meets again to continue earning a living.
Judge Bert Bam agreed to ease Pistorius' bail restrictions, but said he must provide authorities with his travel plans at least a week before he leaves the country.
He must also return his passport to the court within 24 hours of returning to South Africa.
