The North Gauteng High Court yesterday sentenced Pistorius to six years for the 2013 murder of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp.


Karthy Govender, who is with the University of KwaZulu-Natal says, has been speaking to Newswatch after yesterday's ruling.


"Its been a long process, a long trial so I think its likely that this is now the end of the road. Generally, [Pistorius] will now have serve two thirds of that sentence" he said.


Pistorius' legal team said yesterday that the former Paralympian will not appeal the sentence.
