Amazon is facing resistance from South African heritage groups as the retail juggernaut intends to build a new headquarters on a historical battleground site.

Khoi and San heritage groups and local civic associations have spoken out against the headquarters construction in Cape Town because the site Amazon is building on was the battleground between a group of Khoi and the Portuguese in 1510. They argue that the site should instead be declared a World Heritage Site to commemorate its history, according to the Wall Street Journal.
