6:18 pm
so difficult for agencies to get to this region when clearly the need is so great? well, it's just not that government forces alone who are being accused by ages under a work is to have top them from getting in to help the people. what in dire need of a, at this point in time, it also people will fighting a loan type of government like the militia from that hot region on other regions of the country. it's also the t p l forces, who sometimes say hum, put the delivery if a to the people. but most of the blame for reserve for a trail for us would come in the for the fighting in particular region. so the 4th is a b, who are they cut it out? massive human rights violations, including rape and mass killings. and right now they've been calls from big so much

months ago is only getting more was by the day mohammed, i don't live for us and i just out of the hama. thank you. very much leave. amazon dot com is at the center of a controversial battle involving sacred, historical and ecological sensitive land. in south africa, the u. s. e commerce giant is building its africa base on a floodplain in cape time. the development recently got the green light, despite use of opposition from activists. indigenous groups and environmentalists. robin smith's reports from cape town, praying for protection. before going to war, with a giant. these men are among thousands of people fighting to safeguard what they say is sacred and environmentally sensitive land. so one of the world's largest companies is about to cement itself on african soil. amazons africa headquarters
6:21 pm
will stand tall in south africa at the confluence of to cape town rivers, some environmental se bolding on a floodplain is a disaster waiting to happen and puts surrounding areas at further risk of flooding . now, critics also argue that the development goes against the cities, climate change policies. amazon's offices form part of a major, $14.00, hector, $280000000.00 redevelopment plan. that will create thousands of jobs. but it's been marred by controversy since being announced 5 years ago. construction include infilling parts of the lives, the river. the land is home to endangered plant and animal species and was among the 1st areas in south africa to be colonized in the $1600.00. it's considered sacred terrain for indigenous people. it's a guns aerospace. this is
6:22 pm
a place where we can locate the original sin for young fun, rubik, the colonizer pissed his pole onto the sacred terrain. for the 1st time that stabbed at the ancestors of mankind's itself, not all indigenous groups are against the development. in a written statement, the developers deny they will be a negative impact on the environment lives the leisure properties trust says if anything, the development will quote, see degraded, private land transformed into beautiful and publicly accessible space. but critics are not convinced despite if it's to show the authorities that the development is not appropriate despite the fact that here it is with in cape say that the heritage elements of the plan are not adequate and don't meet the requirements of law. the authorities have gone ahead and approve this development as construction vehicles role in so to do names on a petition to stop the development activists on all hoping,
6:23 pm
a court will rule against the 1st bricks being laid. robinson's algebra kept on. one telling things is high commission at the going high corner calling for indigenous international counseling. you saw me a moment ago in robin's report, and he's joining us now from cape town by skype. it's good to have you with us and i'll just say to so thank you very much. indeed. robin's report did refer to the fact that there were indigenous groups who were actually not against this project. are you surprised given the level of sensitivity of the region and the environmental impact this to have that more people are not supporting you it's not surprising that this development has caused a rift in our communities. what we've been saying from the onset is that the proposed development of a 150000 square meters of concrete bulk on a flat plane as well as on the place which is considered all which stored in a church is difficult, is, is unacceptable. the area is currently undergoing 3 different times over heritage.
6:24 pm
grading processes seem to be ignored from provincial, national. and also it's on attempted to list t and this goes here to site. what reasons have the authority has been giving you for giving this project to go ahead? well, we have are up a stem to development which has got a whole range of problems in as far as it's environmental, spatial concerned, as well as we don't accept the arguments. one of the major arguments is that it would actually improve the environmental sanctity of the space. this is going to be challenged and already groups are preparing for court action against the irregularities in terms of how the number of groups feel that these decisions have been made. supporters of the scheme said thousands of jobs would be created. that's something obviously that amazon is determined is going to happen as well. given the economic state of the area, is that not something that is valuable?
6:25 pm
that one of the issues here rob is the fact that this development be so expensive because it's been done on a floodplain development like this at the same price could actually yield $3.00 to $4.00 times of these kinds of developing, employing exponentially more people. i think the argument that it's addressing a part to spatial planning and giving employment to the descendants of the court coincidence is actually grossly misplaced. it entails that the descendants will have to dig up a terrain which is often system in spiritual importance. and that this is an area which should be left within the sanctity of spiritual respect. the environmental sensitivities on a lust remaining test does sound as though this project, at least has been, as you mentioned, given the other son by the authorities and the approval by the authorities. so what can you do now? how far are you prepared to go to try to stop this?
6:26 pm
there are a number of aspects here where especially within the court of law that justified a range of possible cortex. the other thing is that we are looking rather to have a world heritage site, a place that recognizes this is an epi center of colonial conquest. now 1st that weekends, colonial powers, and 1510, again in 1657 were especially here. this is a place where language stolen for the very 1st time and africa. the dutch east india company, which was the largest corporate corporation world gifted land to the free burglar problems on the banks of his big river. and so this for us is a gun 0 present. we would like to treat that conciliation commission for mccoy, and we'd like to be a will granted site to allow the world to understand a history that has been devastated, but also a history of people that remains. part of we are managing jeff bezos. the man
6:27 pm
behind amazon is world renowned for his ability to handle public relations. this doesn't seem a particularly good public relations project for amazon. are you surprised that you haven't had more of a response from based on the amazon management? it is surprising, given the fact that this development, defiance logic, common sense and in any form of sensible thinking. i would imagine that we would have received a speedy response and order to somehow justify or at least come to an understanding that this particular kind of proposed invitation to the environment which goes against the parents records. it also goes against the cities and countries environmental policies. while at the same time, it puts a huge questions in terms of amazon actual respect for the terrain and indigenous thinking of landmarks that extraordinary sacred value all the indigenous people
