flag South Africa's top court ruled only the executive, not the NPA, can request extradition, upholding the unlawful extradition of Moroadi Cholota in a corruption case.

flag The South African Constitutional Court ruled on January 23, 2026, that the National Prosecuting Authority cannot independently request extradition, affirming only the national executive holds that power. flag The court upheld the unlawful extradition of Moroadi Cholota from the U.S. but rejected the High Court’s dismissal of her case, stating criminal jurisdiction remains intact. flag Cholota, accused in the R255 million asbestos corruption case linked to former Free State premier Ace Magashule, must return to court for trial. flag The ruling clarifies that while the NPA can prepare extradition requests, the executive must formally submit them, resolving a key legal dispute over separation of powers in international legal cooperation.
