High court judgment on Amazon project fails to take into account multiple layers of exhaustive processes

In the last two weeks, two significant investment messages were transmitted across SA and out to the world. The first was a Western Cape High Court judgment interdicting a R4.5bn investment that has been under construction for months. The second was the president’s fourth annual investment conference, bringing the target he set four years ago of R1.2-trillion in investment close to the mark, with 95% now pledged.

Most investment commitments recently celebrated at the president’s investment summit require the very literal breaking of ground.Development does not take place in a statutory void. Large-scale, complex projects trigger every rule in the legislated rule book: water use licenses as well as environmental management, heritage, land use and building application processes. All these are underpinned by reams of expert reports, each dealing with a specific field of specialisation.

And these processes are not unique to private development. Public sector projects — whether energy security, education, health, public utility infrastructure or housing — go through the exact same process: years of applications and multiple opportunities for naysayers to veto the plans. For the good public servant tasked with project delivery, this holds the same frustration as for the private sector investor — long and cumbersome processes and no certainty of outcome.

INVESTMENT: Pfizer gives SA a boost as the gateway for rolling out Covid vaccines in AfricaBig pharma company Pfizer is investing R255-million in South Africa to produce the group’s Covid-19 vaccine for distribution in Africa. This was one of the announcements made at the Investment Conference in Sandton and it positions South Africa as a gateway for rolling out the vaccine on the continent. Africa does not need them. Vaccines are no cure. The Oligarchs orchestrated this long ago for stupid people all over the world to follow the lie, mass murder. This is BS!
