New Amazon Africa headquarters to be based at Cape Town’s River Club development
Global retail giant Amazon will be the anchor tenant in the new R4 billion River Club development in Cape Town.

The City of Cape Town has recently given the go-ahead for the River Club mixed-use development, which will be the new home of retail giant Amazon in Africa.

The development design will create 150,000 square meters of mixed-use space, which will be divided into commercial and housing uses across two precincts.

The River Club development will feature 59,600 square meters of office space, 20,700 square meters of retail space, an 8,200 square meter hotel, and a 4,100 square meter gym.

The new precinct will include restaurants, conferencing, a school, and events space.

The City of Cape Town said US retail giant, Amazon will be the anchor tenant at River Club by opening a base for its operations on the African continent here.

The development is envisaged to take place in phases, with construction set to take place over three to five years.

The development of the first precinct includes mixed used and a floor space of approximately 60,000 square meters.

The second precinct will house the Amazon headquarters, which includes around 70,000 square meters of floor space.

Cape Town executive mayor Dan Plato said the new River Club development offers many economic, social, and environmental benefits for the area.

“We are committed to driving investment to revitalise the economy, which is slowly recovering following the impact of Covid-19,” said Plato.

Vehicle assemblers raise output 50 percent in Q1
TUESDAY APRIL 20 2021

SUMMARY
Data from the Kenya Motor Industry Association (KMI) shows that the formal dealers including Isuzu East Africa, Toyota Kenya and DT Dobie assembled a total of 1,979 units in the review period compared to 1,319 units a year earlier.
Overall new vehicle sales stood at 2,867 in the review period, with an increasingly larger share of them being put together locally, led by trucks.

The number of motor vehicles assembled locally jumped 50 percent in the first quarter ended March to account for 69 percent of all new auto sales.

Data from the Kenya Motor Industry Association (KMI) shows that the formal dealers including Isuzu East Africa, Toyota Kenya and DT Dobie assembled a total of 1,979 units in the review period compared to 1,319 units a year earlier.

Overall new vehicle sales stood at 2,867 in the review period, with an increasingly larger share of them being put together locally, led by trucks.

Most of the vehicles are assembled at plants such as Isuzu, Kenya Vehicle Manufacturers (KVM) and Associated Vehicle Assemblers (AVA) and are sold in the local market.

A small fraction of the production is exported to neighbouring markets like Uganda.

Assemblers enjoy an exemption from 25 percent import duty on completely knocked down (CKD) parts headed to assembly lines.

The policy is aimed at boosting manufacturing jobs besides enhancing skills transfer.

The incentive has mostly benefitted the commercial vehicle segment –pick-ups, buses and trucks that are bought by the government and businesses.


Most passenger cars are imported fully-built new or used from overseas due to lack of local assembly of many models besides a preference for cheaper second-hand units.

Local assemblers now produce nearly 20 models including buses, trucks, pick-ups and passenger cars such as Peugeot 3008 (SUV) and 508 (sedan).

Production and sales numbers of Peugeot are, however, not reported by the local franchise holder Urysia Limited.

Isuzu, the largest assembler, produced 1,144 of its namesake vehicles in the review period, representing a 49.7 percent rise from 764 the year before.

It was followed by Simba Corporation which assembled 377 of Mitsubishi, Mahindra and Proton passenger cars and commercial vehicles, a 37.5 percent increase compared to 274 a year earlier.

The dealer assembled seven units of the budget Malaysian car Proton which it introduced in the market in February this year at prices starting from Sh1 million.

The Proton cars are being assembled at the dealer’s AVA plant in Mombasa.

Toyota Kenya’s assembly production across its namesake and Hino models stood at 313, an 86.3 percent jump from 168.

Assemblers of commercial vehicles got a further boost in 2019 when the government introduced a ban on imports of used trucks with load capacities of 3.5 tonnes and above.

See how the gap between Lagos and Nairobi is rapidly decreasing in terms of wealth. In the first table Nairobi has 6,000 people in the 1 dollar millionaires categories while Lagos have 5,000. In the category of 10M dollar Millionaires, Nairobi have 250 while Lagos have 260.

Overall Nairobi is wealthier than Lagos and that's why Knight Frank ranked Nairobi ahead of Lagos.

Both reports are just fine, what Knight Frank has done is generalization. If you look at the first table Nairobi has more millionaires than Lagos even though Lagos is on top and Cairo also has more millionaires than Cape Town but Cape Town is above it. I think what Knight Frank has done in their report is generalization and that's why Nairobi is ahead of Lagos and Cairo ahead of Cape Town

See the gap between Abuja and Mombasa. Abuja has 600 people in the $1M category Mombasa has 800 people, in the $10M category Abuja has 30 people Mombasa has 40. The hype that Nigerians have been to Abuja you could think Abuja is not in Africa grin

The issue is not even about Lagos but Durban and umhlanga. Do you think those two cities are one? And if no, how comes they combined their Total wealth? Something is being cooked somewhere. I know the stats are correct but combining two cities to file stats is baseless. They should also combine Nairobi and Kiambu if that is the thing grin

ranks like this work with local currency converted to the american dollar ($). It's almost impossible for a nation with deliberate weakened currency to be above another currency with a strong currency.

Umhlanga boarders Northern Durban and its utterly separate in the far end of Durban.

Nairobi too links Kiambu and we can't all suddenly say that Kiambu is in Nairobi, same way some part of kajiado like rongai are linked to Nairobi.


But anyway, if umhlanga is indeed inside Durban, whey then did they decided to place them as two cities "Durban & umhlanga" contrary to the case of jorburg and Lagos? cool

umhlanga is in durban.. maybe most of the millionaires and billionaires in durban resides in umhlanga is the reason they put the two together.

Nigerians Shun Naira for Foreign Currencies to Store Wealth

Report links currency substitution to Nigeria naira volatility
Nigerians’ use of dollars exceeds IMF’s 30% threshold
Nigerians have been accumulating foreign currencies to protect their wealth from naira volatility and surging inflation, according to a research paper in a journal published by the Central Bank of Nigeria.

“Higher real-exchange rate volatility is associated with an increased level of currency substitution,” central bank economists including Isaiah Ajibola, Sylvanus Udoette, Rabia Muhammad and John Anigwe said in the paper available on the central bank’s website. There is a need to contain “exchange-rate volatility and inflation as a way of curbing the spate of currency substitution in the country,” they said.

One measure of currency substitution, the ratio of foreign cash deposits to naira deposits on demand in the banks exceeded the International Monetary Fund’s 30% threshold from 2009 following the global financial crisis, the researchers said. It hit a peak of 98.2% in 2014 before declining to 83% in 2018. A broader measure of foreign currency in banks to naira savings, demand and term deposits, stayed largely within the IMF limit over the study period from 1995 to 2018.

Africa’s largest economy devalued the local unit twice last year after a crash in the oil price triggered by the coronavirus pandemic hampered revenues. While crude contributes less than 10% to the country’s gross domestic product, it accounts for nearly all foreign-exchange earnings and half of government revenue in the continent’s biggest producer of the commodity.

The naira has lost 66% of its value since 2009 when it exchanged at 149 naira to the dollar. The unit was little-changed at 409.21 naira per dollar at the spot market as of 4:02 p.m. in Lagos on Thursday. Nigeria’s inflation quickened to the highest level in four years in March and is now more than double the 9% limit of the central bank’s target range.

The central bank previously issued a warning to merchants to stop offering local goods in foreign currency and also banned the practice of accessing the foreign-exchange market for settling domestic transactions.

“The key policy implication of currency substitution is that it reduces monetary policy effectiveness,” the researchers said. “Efforts to further diversify the economy should be of paramount interest to boost the base for foreign-exchange earnings.”
