Ah, Oscar. As if the next ten months weren’t going to stress you out enough, you now have to deal with The Big Appeal on December 9th.

The National Prosecuting Authority is very upset with his sentencing, calling it “shockingly light”, and “believes there exists reasonable prospects of a successful appeal based on a question of law”.

The prosecutors said in their papers that the judge “erred in over-emphasising the personal circumstances” of the athlete and the fact he was “anxious and ‘seems remorseful'” during the trial.

So, back to the courtroom and your favourite DStv channel soon for you. Thank goodness. The summer holidays would not be the same without a bit of Oscar drama.
