Construction of Amazon’s new Africa HQ halted by court

Activists protest demanding a halt to tech giant Amazon building its African headquarters on the floodplain at the confluence of the Black and Liesbeek rivers in Cape Town, South Africa, on Nov. 12, 2021. A South African court has suspended construction work on the new business park after a challenge by Indigenous groups, who say the development will spoil an area that's sacred to them.
