Pistorius Filmed Playing Football In Prison

A video has emerged of Oscar Pistorius playing football in prison with a notorious Czech criminal.

The footage shows the disgraced sprinter enjoying a penalty shoot-out session with Radovan Krejcir in an empty exercise yard at Kgosi Mampuru Prison in Pretoria.

Pistorius, who was jailed for five years for killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, is seen wearing shorts as he takes turns to play striker and goalkeeper.

South Africa's two most famous prisoners reportedly struck up a friendship after being transferred to the same wing.

The footage was shot from above on a mobile phone by another inmate and published in South Africa's Daily Sun newspaper.

At one point, the Paralympic gold medallist, 28, is seen moving a concrete-weighted pole out of the way so Krejcir has more room to shoot.

A spokesman for the department of correctional services said all inmates are allowed to have an hour of exercise a day.

Krejcir is facing multiple charges including kidnapping, attempted murder and drug dealing.
