The Parole Board will now have to start the process from scratch. 


Pistorius had been due to be placed under house arrest on August the 21st - after serving a sixth of his five-year sentence for killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in 2013.


Two days before,Justice Minister Michael Masutha suspended the release while he referred it to Parole Review Board. 


At the time, he said the decision to release the paralympian was taken prematurely and with no legal basis.
