Pretoria: A South African prison official yesterday recommended Oscar Pistorius clean a museum as punishment for shooting dead his girlfriend, sparking prosecution anger in a court weighing what sentence to give the Paralympian.

Defence witness, Joel Maringa, a social worker in South Africa’s notoriously crowded and brutal jails, said Pistorius should not go to prison, but receive “correctional supervision” through three years of house arrest. He should also clean a Pretoria museum for 16 hours a month, Maringa said.
