Court ruling spells good news for the construction of Amazon’s planned offices in Cape Town.

The construction of Amazon.com Inc.’s planned offices in Cape Town should be allowed to go ahead, according to a South African court, in a setback for the indigenous people attempting to stop the development.

Liesbeek Leisure Properties Trust is developing the site that Amazon was planning to use as a flagship office in Africa, consolidating its employees in the city and hosting new hires for its expanding operations.
