The Goringhaicona Khoi Khoin Indigenous Traditional Council and the Observatory Civic Association have served contempt of court papers on the property developers of the facility that was to house Amazon’s Africa headquarters.
They also alleged illegal construction procedures were followed by LLPT without the approval of all parties involved, in an attempt to hasten the building of the site. “This argument is incorrect, since the section 18.1 of the Superior Courts Act on which they rely applies only to final orders .
