In an order issued by the court on Wednesday, Lamola made an undertaking that Chang would not be extradited until judgment in the application is handed down.

Chang has been in prison in SA since December 2018, after the execution of a warrant of arrest at the request of the US, after it charged him with fraud and corruption. Chang was arrested for his alleged involvement in fraudulent loans worth billions to Mozambican state firms.

After his arrest, both the US and Mozambique issued requests for his extradition to their respective countries to stand trial.That decision was set aside by his successor, Lamola, a month later while he sought legal advice as to which country Chang should be extradited to. Lamola said after representations by Mozambican authorities recently — that Chang was not immune from prosecution in Mozambique — he decided that Chang be extradited to his home country where he will stand trial on a number of charges.Chang has denied wrongdoing.
