Meanwhile, prosecutors are calling on a panel of judges at the country's Supreme Court to overrule a decision by another judge to acquit Pistorius of murder charges. A state appeal against Pistorius' murder acquittal will be heard in November.

If prosecutors succeed in their appeal against the culpable homicide conviction in the Supreme Court of Appeal and have it upgraded to murder, Pistorius would face a minimum of 15 years in jail.
