It is funny how things happen – we haven’t so much as thought about old Oscar in weeks and suddenly we have two updates. One, that his granny is proud of him, and two, that he is now allowed to wear jewellery whilst in the confines of Kgosi Mampuru prison.

Because of good behaviour, Oscar now has the added benefits of being “able to hug and kiss his visitors, own a radio and wear jewellery”.

The convicted killer will also be free to make more phone calls, take up a hobby and have a bigger budget to buy toiletries and treats after a decision by jail chiefs to re-categorise his prisoner status.

Life complete.

This decision came after the big guys at the prison decided Oscar “poses little threat to security”.

The Olympian is known for his love of pricey watches, but it’s doubted he will be wearing any of his collection in prison, and I highly doubt he’ll be donning any of his gold medals. But YAY! A thick gold chain around his neck and he will totally fit in.

Oscar currently shares a bit of time in the hospital wing with Czech fugitive Radovan Krejcir.

It’s only a matter of time, really, before the two of them cook up some fantastic story.
