Pistorius to challenge bail conditions
Murder-accused paralympian Oscar Pistorius is to challenge his bail conditions as unwarranted and unfair, according to a report on Friday night.
It was reported that his lawyers would seek to have several of his bail conditions scrapped.
Pistorius wanted to be able to travel, given that Magistrate Desmond Nair found during his bail application he was not a flight risk.
He also sought an end to being supervised by a probation officer and submitting to compulsory drug and alcohol testing.
Pistorius stands accused of murdering Steenkamp in his Pretoria home on Valentine's Day.
In an affidavit submitted as part of his bail application, Pistorius said he thought he was shooting at an intruder behind a closed bathroom door.
He was granted R1 million bail on Friday, February 22. He was allowed to pay an initial instalment of R100,000, with the balance due by March 1.
Steenkamp was cremated in a private ceremony in Port Elizabeth on February 19.
Pistorius' next court appearance is on June 4.
