DISGRACED Paralympian Oscar Pistorius has been sentenced to six years in prison for murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.

When police came to assist a South African who was robbed in her car, the victim launched into a violent, racist rant against black people - including black police officers - that was filmed by a witness. Though the incident took place in March, the video was only made public last week when it was broadcast by South African television channel eNCA. Since then, many people have condemned the woman’s racist language.

SOUTH African Paralympic athlete Oscar Pistorius is a “broken” man who should be hospitalised rather than jailed, a psychologist has claimed.

African women have worn headscarves for many years for religious, cultural reasons and even as a fashion statement but they were traditionally worn by older, usually married women.
