NPA to appeal Oscar's six-year sentence
Updated | By News24
It said in a statement,"The NPA has decided to file an application for leave to appeal,"
It said the sentence was "shockingly too lenient".
Pistorius was sentenced on July 6 for fatally shooting his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine's Day in 2013.
He was initially convicted of culpable homicide and received a five-year sentence, but the Supreme Court of Appeal last year ruled that the conviction should be murder and that he should be re-sentenced.
Judge Thokozila Masipa then sentenced him to six years in jail.
