Paralympian Oscar Pistorius‚ whose conviction for culpable homicide was set aside and replaced with murder last week‚ will appear before the high court in Pretoria on Tuesday.

National Prosecuting Authority spokesman Luvuyo Mfaku said the reason for the appearance before Deputy Judge President Aubrey Ledwaba was to set a date for sentencing proceedings suitable to all parties.

Mfaku said the issue of whether or not Pistorius should be out on bail would be addressed in court on Tuesday.

The Supreme Court of Appeal in Bloemfontein referred Pistorius back to the high court to be sentenced afresh after finding him guilty of murder.

Pistorius‚ 29‚ shot and killed his girlfriend Steenkamp‚ who was 29‚ through a locked door in his Pretoria home on February 14 2013.

He claimed he fired the four shots through the door of the toilet in the bathroom adjoining his bedroom believing that there was an intruder inside and that his life and that of Steenkamp were in danger.

Pistorius was sentenced to a five-year prison term in October last year but was released under correctional supervision this year after spending close to one year in prison. He has been living at his uncle Arnold’s luxury home in Waterkloof‚ Pretoria‚ since his release.
