I'm confused now. Is he just totally admitting to murdering her in cold blood? How did the police debunk the self-defense rumor without a confession? This is such a weird story.
They didn't "debunk" anything, it's just that none of the evidence so far points towards self-defense. I imagine the number of shots and where she was shot in particular make self-defense implausible at this time. Then there is also the fact that apparently police had previously been called to the address to deal with "allegations of a domestic nature".

That News 24 link says that the police are going to oppose bail for him and that the neighbors had already reported incidents/things happening at the home earlier in the evening.

Looks like this is a good-old fashioned murder.

And it doesn't help that the police made domestic disturbance calls to house as well.

Serious answer: the blades are sometimes called "cheetah legs/blades" because of their shape.

In the background, we see the Savannah, which represents the wilderness of Africa (Oscar Pistorious is South African). In his hands, he holds a leash that is connected to a cheetah. Cheetahs are known for being able to run very fast, and for being native to Africa. Oscar Pistorious, the famous paraplegic runner, has captured nature's speed and agility. It is his domestic pet. He takes it for walks into the Savannah while he thinks about how he is the Savannah: Wild and impossible to tame, unlike his pet cheetah.

Stay for our sake

As somone who has lived in South Africa, house with electric fence and all that, it does really feel like he took the home security thing too far.
As others have mentioned, home invasions in SA are quite bad, but that does not mean you can sleep with a loving gun by the side of your bed and feel okay to shoot anything that moves. If he sticks to the home invasion bit he will definitely come across as a paranoid madman.
As for the question about Afrikaaner nationalists asked a few pages back, I haven't been in SA for quite a while but I don't think the AWB are still around.
Really the whole situation sounds loving ludicrous. National hero shoots girlfriend dead.

It is ludicrous, because the whole story is a lie or at least grasping at the straws by a lovely media.

He murdered his girlfriend, straight up.

Whatever, just photoshop it already and make it funnier. You could swap the cheetah head with the murderer head, that would be pretty original.
