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 .
Good morning and welcome to our live blog where we will be covering the trial of Oscar Pistorius.
The Paralympian denies the murder of former girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in the early hours of Valentine's Day last year.
Pistorius, 27, shot the model through the bathroom door of his house in Pretoria.
He insists the killing was a tragic accident when he mistook Reeva for an intruder.
The remains of the female politicians, who died in a ghastly auto accident have been laid to rest at the Bayelsa State cemetery, Azikoro in Yenagoa, the state capital. President Goodluck Jonathan his wife, Dame Patience and the Bayelsa State Governor, Hon. Seriake Dickson as well as wives of the Anambra and Ekiti State Governors joined other sympathizers at a special memorial service in honour of the deceased women at the Dr. Gabriel Okara Cultural Centre, in Yenagoa.
He is the face of terror. A ruthless leader with a twisted ideology. And the sadistic architect of a campaign of mayhem and misery. And yet, very little is known about Abubakar Shekau, the leader of Boko Haram. He operates in the shadows, leaving his underlings to orchestrate his repulsive mandates. He resurfaces every once in a while in videotaped messages to mock the impotence of the Nigerian military. And he uses his faith to recruit the impressionable and the disenfranchised to his cause. He is a religious scholar Shekau was born in Shekau village that borders Niger. He studied under a cleric and then attended Borno State College of Legal and Islamic Studies for higher studies on Islam. That’s why he’s also known as ‘Darul Tawheed,’ which translates to an expert in monotheism, or the oneness of Allah. Place of birth: Yobe State
