Damn. Everything is going Oscar Pistorius' way!

After the Valentine's Day death of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, the paralympian admitted to shooting and killing the model because he thought she was an intruder, but he DENIED murdering her, which has led him to be freed on bail.

And once he was let go on a measly $112,000 bond, the South African court confiscated his two passports so that he couldn't flee the country, but now, they're allowing him to leave South Africa in order to compete in races.

Oscar Pistorius is officially a MONSTER!

The Olympian with no legs allegedly murdered his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp earlier today, and just when a source close to the aspiring model revealed that Oscar had NEVER been violent with Reeva… the Boschkop police is stating that the Paralympian did some time in jail back in 2009 for assaulting a woman!!!!!!

Pistorius is currently in custody at a prison in Pretoria, and he's scheduled for a court hearing tomorrow.

We always had a hunch he was berserk! This man is just straight up evil!! UGH!

Nelson Mandela has been discharged from the hospital!

Apparently the former South Africa President will be returning to his Houghton home, where he will continue to receive medical care — so while he's out of the hospital, he isn't out of the woods. He was diagnosed with a lung infection and underwent gallstone surgery.

Lung problems are par-for-the-course for Nelson, having even had TB before!

We hope he gets better soon!

Jacob Zuma, South Africa's current President, is going to honor Nelson Mandela with a statue.

We previously mentioned that Mandela is currently in the hospital with a pneumonia like lung infection.

These type of infections are never minor, especially in the elderly, but people do often overcome them.

President Zuma said:

Down in South Africa, Johan Gray was in a preliminary motorcycle race, preparing for a serious endurance race.

The real race, the Amageza Gauteng is a 14-day endurance race across the South African plains.

So it would seem that this race was pretty important to him… but not as important as saving the life of a young calf stuck in a canal!
