Amazon To Open African Headquarters In South Africa by Kwanza(op): 3:18pm On Apr 21, 2021

Amazon has concluded plans to open its African headquarters in South Africa with a real estate investment of over R4 billion.

Authorities in Cape Town said Amazon would be occupying a new development in River Club, a prime section of the city, local media reported on Wednesday.

The 15-hectare parcel of land will cost R4 billion and include two precincts. Authorities said the first precinct of 60,000sqm will occupy different layers of development; while the second section of 70,000 will hold Amazon headquarters in Africa.

“The development is envisaged to take place in phases, with construction set to take place over three to five years,” Cape Town city officials said in a statement.

Over 5,000 direct construction jobs and 19,000 indirect jobs are expected to be created as a result of the move, Business Tech reported.

Not surprised ....this country changed from GIANT OF AFRICA to GIANT-ANT OF AFRICA thanks to all the CLUELESS past and present political administrations and their useless policies.

S.A citizens enjoy the dividends of Amazon been in your country physically.
We youth must create a paradigm shift come 2023 elections by voting youthful visionary Aspirants to lead us.
How some sick youths still support old clueless Mofos on this platform and offline baffles and irritate me.
How do you expect that someone that has lived the better part of his or her life will plan a future for you young persons...SMH @those that fall in this nitwit category of youths with such dealings.

You see what fulani has done to Nigeria. Every multinational corporation is avoiding Nigeria like plague, despite the fact that we have the largest market in Africa.

Poor infrastructure
Security
Lack of identification database (NIN)
If Nigeria can get these three things right, companies will start coming. The human capital is in abundant and people are ready to work.

The northerners have successfully turned this nation into a laughing stock, the earlier everyone goes their way, the better.

When you have a terrorist minister and president, how do you expect foreign investment?

Ask Afghanistan and Syria how they are doing.

Ask UAE why they are prosperous today, they decided to drop Taqquiyah Islam and embrace liberalism, hence their economic growth and prosperity.

Biafra shall be actualized soon.

No elections in Nigeria 2023, except in the corruption filled northern Nigeria where Gandollar and Thiefnoubou would be their president, vice president and prime minister.

Have you heard any Northerner condemn stealing, nepotism and terrorism?
