The Manuel Chang case presents South Africa’s Ramaphosa administration with a serious dilemma – a stark choice between respecting the rule of law and maintaining good foreign relations.
Chang is appealing the High Court decision and it seems likely that Lamola will oppose the appeal. That would indicate that he’s leaning towards the bold decision of sending Chang to face trial in the US, on the grounds that justice will more likely be served there than in Mozambique. At other times Boustani seemed simply to be denying the charges, testifying that when he told his Privinvest boss Iskandar Safa that Mozambique officials were demanding bribes, Safa told him not to hand over any money “but just keep tango dancing with these guys and let’s see where it will go”.
Lamola and Ramaphosa are aware of the high stakes. If they send him to the US, not only will it anger Mozambique but probably many other Southern African Development Community allies, especially former liberation movements.
