Pistorius' parole review hearing postponed for 2 weeks

The department's parole review board met on Friday to consider a number of cases but didn't complete them, it said in a statement. Pistorius' case was one of those which still must be reviewed.

The double-amputee Olympian was initially approved to be released and moved to house arrest last month. However, South Africa's justice minister intervened and ordered a review, saying a parole board's decision at a hearing back in June was premature.
