Pretoria – Murder accused Oscar Pistorius’ father has lashed out at the ANC government saying they are to blame for his son’s fall from grace.

Oscar’s dad Henke Pistorius reportedly told a British newspaper that the country’s lawlessness and high crime rate forced his son to arm himself.

The ANC has since told the Daily Voice they want nothing to do with the paralympic star or his family.

Henke Pistorius spoke to The Telegraph’s journalist about the guns he and his son own.
