A recap as Pistorius waits in the holding cell at the high court in Pretoria to be taken to begin his prison sentence:
Judge Thokozile Masipa has given Pistorius a five-year prison sentence for the culpable homicide of Reeva Steenkamp.
She also handed down a three-year sentence for negligently discharging a firearm in a crowded restaurant, wholly suspended and to be served concurrently.There are disputed claims about how long the athlete will serve in prison, with the defence team indicating it expects him to be considered for house arrest after 10 months, and the National Prosecuting Authority insisting he must serve a minimum of one-third in jail: 20 months.
Pistorius is expected to be moved this afternoon to Kgosi Mampuru II prison, formerly Pretoria Central, where it is anticipated he will be housed in the hospital wing.
