The 27-year-old athlete is accused of murdering model girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in the early hours of Valentine's Day last year
Van Zyl admits that Pistorius was in love with Miss Taylor.
He says he cannot remember if he was asked to get a ticket for her for London 2012.
But he says: "I knew that he was in love with Miss Taylor."
Nel tells the court that Fourie's tweet does not dispute yesterday's evidence that he wanted to move rooms because Pistorius was arguing on the phone.
Nel again refers back to Samantha Taylor.
He says Pistorius had invited her to the 2012 Olympics.
Nel is really getting his teeth stuck into Mr van Zyl.
He now refers back to Paralympian Arnu Fourie, who we were told yesterday wanted to no longer be Pistorius' room-mate.
The court was told that he wanted to move rooms because Pistorius was often arguing on the phone.
Fourie last night issued this tweet following yesterday's evidence.
Nel now reads out an article by South African radio journalist David O'Sullivan.
He talks about the athlete's "darker side".
The prosecutor reads out a section of the article.
"Oscar was at the pre-Games training camp and phoned me, raging about what he perceived to be inadequate training kit.
"His fury at the South African management caught me by surprise. Oscar knew he couldn’t be ignored, and his anger would ensure his demands were met. I hadn’t expected Oscar to be a prima donna."
The prosecutor passes an email to Van Zyl which he says Pistorius sent to his manager containing passport information of Taylor's.
It comes after yesterday's evidence when Van Zyl said Steenkamp was the only girlfriend of Pistorius who the athlete wanted to accompany him on overseas trips.
Today's session has now started.
Prosecutor Gerrie Nel is now quizzing Pistorius' manager Peet Van Zyl.
He starts by asking about Pistorius' relationship with Samantha Taylor, the athlete's previous girlfriend .
