Second victory for Amazon's new headquarters in South Africa

The developers behind the R4.6-billion multi-purpose River Club complex in Cape Town that will house Amazon's new headquarters in South Africa have scored another victory against opponents of the development.

On Tuesday, Judge MJ Dolamo struck an application for an interdict against ongoing construction at the site off of the Western Cape High Court roll, ruling that it lacked urgency.
 
when you have enough money, local laws are just speedbumps to your way.

typical of Amazon, bulldoze their way past obstacles, not caring who they squash.

Amazon’s Approach to Robotics Is Seriously Injuring Warehouse Workers ✦ OnLabor

Candace Dixon could barely climb the stairs. After lifting nearly 100,000 items in two months of working with robots at an Amazon fulfillment center, her back was severely damaged by bulging discs, inflammation, and chronic pain. Her doctor attributed her injuries “100 percent” to her workplace...

So the increased efficiency of the robots allows her to increase the amount of boxes moved per day.

Funny, because remember when these same people complained that they were walking miles and miles each day at work to get boxes.

So Amazon fixes that by bringing the boxes to them using robots and now this new complaint is that she moves too many boxes.
 
When your one of the wealthiest knobs in the world that looks like Fester Addams's impish basterd son and quite happily bulldoze everything and everyone in your path then anything is possible I guess.

That's why it's funny reading all these comments from South Africans moaning.

They want the good economy but without any of the businesses.

My favourite is they all act like Amazon personally punched their dog in the head or something.

Haaibo! It was the pet Ostrich.
 
Good. Bulldoze everything, bring in Cosco and Target too.

More jobs !!

SA mentality is so backward, you want a better economy but you don't want infrastructure. Idiots.

Liesbeek Leisure Properties Trust (LLPT) would be the developer here.

Try to be less anti-progressive.
