"The bail application hearing for Oscar Pistorius has been
set down for tomorrow at 9.30 am (0730 GMT) at the Pretoria High
Court," said the official, who declined to be named.
The Supreme Court last Thursday upgraded the 29-year-old
athlete's sentence to murder from "culpable homicide", South
Africa's equivalent of manslaughter, for which he had received a
five-year sentence.
Pistorius had been meant to serve the rest of his sentence under
house arrest at his uncle's house in a wealthy suburb of the
capital Pretoria after being released from jail on Oct. 19.
A new sentence for the Paralympic champion will be handed down
at a later date.
