Amazon Africa headquarters facing legal opposition in Cape Town
Amazon, the retail and tech multinational founded by Jeff Bezos, is facing legal opposition from a number of environmental and heritage protection groups. Earlier in the year, the City of Cape Town gave the go-ahead for the commencement of the development. The 150,000 square metre development will create over 5,000 direct jobs and up to “19,000 indirect and induced jobs would be supported, said the City of Cape Town. According to MyBroadband, the LLPT (Liesbeek Leisure Property Trust) – who own the land on which the development is to be built – planned to begin construction in mid-June. The Observatory Civic Association labelled the development as “profit-driven” and “at the expense of environmental protection and respect for heritage.” In response to the claims, the LLPT has said the association’s claims was “potentially delaying the creation of thousands of jobs and environmental rehabilitation.”
