The developer of Cape Town’s R4.6-billion River Club mixed-use complex set to include Amazon’s new Africa headquarters has applied for leave to appeal the Western Cape High Court judgement halting construction.
LLPT said if the order remained in effect, South Africa would lose 6,000 direct and 19,000 indirect jobs. The broader community would also lose out on “significant” socio-economic and environmental benefits due to the development, LLPT added. LLPT said despite the applicants having no legitimate claim over the intangible heritage over the broader Two Rivers area in which the River Club development was built, nor standing within the First Nations community, they were afforded the opportunity to submit comments during the approval process.
It also said that no parties were present in the court hearings, and no party filed any affidavit which demonstrated or alleged:That their members are bearers of any intangible cultural heritage whose cultural identity or cultural life would allegedly be affected by the proposed development.That they were otherwise excluded from any public participation or consultation process.
