Chang will remain in custody in South Africa until a hearing on Feb. 5, Magistrate Sagra Subroyen said at a court near Johannesburg on Friday. The court will decide on that date which of two requests for extradition – by Mozambique and the US – will get preference, JJ du Toit, the deputy director of public prosecutions, said in Johannesburg. Arguments will be heard under section 10 of South Africa's Extradition Act.
Chang has been detained in South Africa since Dec. 29 on US Department of Justice charges.
