In response to South Africa’s 15-year-long power crisis
as well as steep annual electricity tariff increases
households and businesses are installing solar systems at a blistering pace
The country imported roughly $4bn (R74bn) worth of solar panels
lithium-ion batteries and inverters in 2023
That is as much as the preceding five-and-a-half years combined
Eskom estimates that 2.6GW of solar was added to the country’s rooftops in the 12 months to end-November
As the private sector reduces its reliance on Eskom
this helps to bring demand for grid power back in line with what Eskom is capable of supplying
But the catch is that South Africa will soon face a deepening “duck curve” — a phenomenon where demand for electricity from the grid plummets toward the middle of the day as homes and businesses make the most of the sun’s energy
That’s followed by a steep increase in demand for grid power into the evening
the electricity demand curve increasingly resembles a duck.In some markets where solar is already ubiquitous
there is often zero net demand for power from the grid during the middle of the day
This creates serious challenges for grid operators
who need to constantly maintain the balance between supply and demand across the network
Traditional baseload-type power plants were not designed to quickly ramp up and down their output every day
and most take too long to reach full capacity
this refers to dirty and expensive diesel facilities – are better suited to ramp up their output fast
but they drive up Eskom’s generation costs
making the utility even less competitive relative to ever-cheaper solar
could accelerate the “utility death spiral”
municipalities have a slightly different problem
They buy electricity from Eskom at variable rates
and then typically resell it to homes at a fixed rate
Municipalities typically get the best margins on day-time residential electricity sales
peak-time electricity – in the mornings and evenings – is expensive and often has to be sold by municipalities to homes at below cost
municipalities will find themselves in a position where much of the electricity they distribute is sold at times when it is uneconomical for them to do so
That will put serious strain on municipal finances
considering that electricity sales account for roughly a third of Cape Town’s revenues and a quarter of Johannesburg’s
But there is a proven solution for this challenge
and it lies in the country’s huge fleet of energy-hungry geysers
a 30-month study in the Western Cape found that smart geyser management systems can play a major role in taming the duck curve
Cape Town-based energy tech company Plentify worked with the City of Cape Town and the Hessequa Local Municipality to deploy geyser management devices in 500 homes
with support from seven European countries via Germany’s GIZ and financing facility EEP Africa
and with oversight of the methodology and results by the University of Cape Town
The artificial intelligence-enabled devices
automatically turn geysers on and off at the most optimal times
with the aim of shifting electricity consumption away from morning and evening peaks
and making the most of periods of strong solar output instead
the devices enhanced each geyser’s overall energy efficiency by up to 24%
simply by switching them off when they did not need to be drawing power
this solution would go a long way towards smoothing the nation’s energy demand curve and increasing the amount of decentralised solar that both Eskom and municipalities can absorb

CLEVELAND — The Cleveland family of 27-year-old Britney Napier has been left with frustration and anguish after the man charged with shooting Britney in the head was released on bond three days after the March 25 incident
Cleveland Municipal Court confirmed police arrested 51-year-old Yuri Kornik and charged him with two counts of felonious assault in the case
The court confirmed Kornik was issued a $25,000 10% bond on the charges and he was able to pay $2,500 and leave jail
believes Kornik should have been given a much higher bond and kept in jail pending the outcome of the charges against him
my daughter is in the hospital fighting for her life and this guys been out for a week now
He shot my daughter on Saturday and he got out Monday morning," Gomez said
“He gets to walk around like nothing happened
he should be in jail at least until court.”
Police report Britney Napier and her boyfriend parked in Kornik's driveway just after midnight after they reported their car developed battery issues
Gomez told News 5 Kornik came out of his home with a gun and allegedly started shooting even though the couple tried to leave his property
you think that they’re supposedly trying to rob you and they pull out of your driveway backwards trying to get away from you and you’re shooting at them,” Gomez said
"You shot her five houses down from where you reside."
Cleveland police report the case is still under investigation
News 5 reached out to the attorney representing Kornik in the case
Cleveland Municipal Court told News 5 that pre-trial services determine a defendant's "flight risk" based on a wide variety of factors to help ensure a person charged will show up for court
The court said judges set bonds based on a predetermined schedule of criteria based on the charges filed by the prosecutor's office
The court told News 5 Kornik was issued a "no contact" order with Napier and her family
and that Kornik had no prior convictions or charges on his record in Cuyahoga County
News 5 also contacted the Cuyahoga County Prosecutors' office and it confirmed the case will be turned over to a grand jury within the next two weeks for consideration of more serious charges
Elly Carpenter believes the guidelines on how bonds are set in cases involving firearms and serious injuries must be changed
“It needs to change before somebody else has the same thing done to them
it’s never going to end if they don’t nip it in the bud and get things the way they should be
Plain and simple I hope my niece gets justice
that’s the least that can come out of this."
The family has set up a GoFundMe account for Britney Napier
because it's not clear if she has medical insurance to help the family pay for her fight for survival and hoped recovery

and daughter Christine (Neil) Johnson; grandchildren Julien

LAKEWOOD – A Township man was arrested and charged for selling counterfeit United States postage stamps
was charged with Counterfeiting in connection with a series of events that occurred in Lakewood from October 2023 through March 2024
Kornik had been purchasing and importing counterfeit United States postage stamps from China and selling them on several online platforms such as Amazon and Walmart
Despite receiving multiple notices from United States Customs and Border Protection
he proceeded to continue importing counterfeit stamps
authorities search Kornik’s home and seized a quantity of counterfeit stamps valued in excess of $10,000
Kornik was taken into custody and was transported to the Ocean County Jail
and served with the charge via summons pending an upcoming first appearance in Ocean County Superior Court
Billhimer commends the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Economic Crime Squad

The charges referenced are merely accusations and the public are reminded that all defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law
Despite receiving multiple warnings from United States Customs and Border Protection about the illegality of his actions, Kornik purportedly continued to import and sell these counterfeit stamps in large denominations. A search warrant executed at Kornik’s residence this past Tuesday led to the seizure of counterfeit stamps valued at over $10,000.
Following his arrest, Kornik was transported to the Ocean County Jail, where he was processed and charged. He is awaiting his first court appearance in Ocean County Superior Court, pending the proceedings. The case highlights the collaborative efforts of local and federal authorities to crack down on the illegal sale of counterfeit postage stamps.

perhaps as a communications/media relationships person at a post secondary institute or professional organization
My parents are the two people I look up to most
They took my brother and I out of a challenging situation in a communist country
and came to Canada with very little money and no ability to speak English and worked extremely hard to provide a good life for us

Kena Health founder and chief executive officer
Saul Kornik opens up about how his distributor company is bringing affordable universal healthcare to the nation..
.bizicon + br{display:none} h2 .bizicon img{top:10px !important} Congratulations
Saul Kornik: We are incredibly proud of this product and know that it will be a game changer for millions of South Africans
The word 'Kena' means 'to welcome' - and that is exactly the ethos we live by
.bizicon + br{display:none} h2 .bizicon img{top:10px !important} This service has quite an incredible impact on people's lives in such remote areas where they wouldn't otherwise have had access
And you need to be passionate to bring something like this to life
We've worked excessive hours over the last year; it's been stressful and exciting
I'll tell you a few stories about the people we have already reached that makes it all worthwhile
we had a woman on a minibus taxi on the way home from work
and she phoned through about a gynaecological condition
It was too late at that stage for her to get to a clinic and too expensive to go to the doctor
we had somebody who called our mental health professionals because she had a calling to be a sangoma
her family was ostracising her and she had no one with whom to talk
We live in such a diverse country with so many different cultures
and mental health conditions created by so many different circumstances
and there are so many different limitations to healthcare access
But we get this view of the country that very few people have
.bizicon + br{display:none} h2 .bizicon img{top:10px !important} With the NHI in the pipeline
how will the Kena Health app work alongside it
Kornik: We don't want to compete with anyone
Our strong preference is to work with others
Only 16% of people in SA have access to medical scheme cover; the rest mostly rely on the public sector
They don't have enough resources and struggle with organising their services
Our view on the healthcare system is that if we build valuable systems and products for the underserved and uninsured
we can actually grow the size of the pie that's available for private healthcare providers to provide their care
The key to this is lowering the cost so that the 16% can grow to 40-
We aim to be part of changing the system so that this is possible
We'd love to offer quality early-stage healthcare services to all citizens in the country
And we'd love to be contracted by the NHI to do so
The tech-supported nature of our product means we can offer the same service everywhere
And the way we organise our service to lower the cost of care should make it more affordable to an NHI
we would like to be ready to take on value-based care contracts from an NHI fund
.bizicon + br{display:none} h2 .bizicon img{top:10px !important} Is Kena in a pilot phase now
.bizicon + br{display:none} h2 .bizicon img{top:10px !important} Are there other apps like it or is this the first of its kind
there are lots of telemedicine apps out there
Momentum and Woolworths healthcare members have access to Hello Doctor
and then there are a number of apps that deal with mental health or are trying to grow in the private sector space
in a different way; yes our app is the first of its kind
We generally try not to compete with an existing pathway
We push ourselves to reimagine how the best care can be delivered.It's important for people to know we've built this app to lower the cost of healthcare
to make access to it easier for people - not only for people who are poor but for everyone.So in the case of Kena
we're the only ones who specifically talk to the uninsured about providing smartphone-based entry-level care of this kind
And we are the only app that I know of that has arranged its clinicians in a team in the way we have - to lower the cost of care while improving health outcomes
.bizicon + br{display:none} h2 .bizicon img{top:10px !important} Is there research you're doing into particular health issues in SA from the data being collated by your app
Kornik: We've got quite a lot of insights already but as we serve more people
We can already see that more women make use of our service than men; we can see how long it takes to treat different patients
we know what conditions they are calling about
we'll be able to improve our treatment services
.bizicon + br{display:none} h2 .bizicon img{top:10px !important} There's a recruitment element to your business
Are doctors preferring to work in this ecosystem as opposed to in a physical hospital
Kornik: Different doctors like different forms of medicine
Being in a hospital is a very particular experience
nurses or mental health professionals who want to work with our way of delivering care
you have to build up a client base; you're paying for rent
The difference at Kena is that the doctors et al come and work hours that make sense to them and we bring them the patients
They can do it from home where they have no overheads
And there is no burden on them to collect money from patients
the clinicians love the diversity of the clinical practice
The first patient they see could live in rural Limpopo with a skin condition
the second patient may be in Eastern Cape with HIV
and the third could be down the road from them with hypertension
This kind of national practice is very different to work in one specific local community
rather than working by themselves in a practice
at Kena they get to work with a team of other doctors
this is a unique experience in our healthcare system
.bizicon + br{display:none} h2 .bizicon img{top:10px !important} In terms of diagnostics
how do you measure blood pressure and arrange urine tests via the screen
I know technologies are evolving where patients can potentially have access to oxymeters at home or blood pressure machines
Is the onus on the patient to have the equipment at home so you can conduct respective medical tests
Kornik: There are a lot of conditions that are treated just through a phone enquiry of the patient
a Kena doctor can provide a referral letter or a requisition for blood tests
We've got a sister company I was involved in founding over four years ago
Healthforce is a system used by nurses in pharmacy clinics around the country that enables them to call a doctor into the clinic room via telemedicine
you can pop into any Dis-Chem and their nurses can do whatever physical examinations are necessary and perform whatever tests are necessary
The idea is that Kena should shortly be able to refer into this network of 500 clinic rooms
.bizicon + br{display:none} h2 .bizicon img{top:10px !important} Kena is completely changing the landscape of the profession..
Kornik: We need to change the way healthcare is delivered
It's expensive because of the way the system is set up
Our goal is to improve the healthcare system
We want to become better and better at lowering costs and improving health outcomes
.bizicon + br{display:none} h2 .bizicon img{top:10px !important} Was there anything else that you wanted to mention
Kornik: It's quite important to mention that we can answer a call to care from a man living on a government grant in Limpopo as easily as we can take a call from a chief executive officer living in Bryanston
And that's why we say 'Everyone is welcome' - that's our motto
we're hoping people will try it out because this is quite a new thing
It's important for people to know we've built this app to lower the cost of healthcare
to make access to it easier for people - not only for people who are poor but for everyone

Indigenous students are taking part in a campaign to raise awareness about the U of M’s renewed self-declaration process
Métis and Inuit students the option to receive communication about the University’s Indigenous community
Using #ideclareindigenous they are sharing messages on social media
“I declare Indigenous because it’s who I am
It’s where I’m going,” shared Chanse Kornik
an honours student in the Faculty of Science
encourages students to check the box to receive communication
“Our community includes supports such as the Indigenous Circle of Empowerment and the Neechiwaken Indigenous Peer Mentor Group
There are also events and ceremonies held at Migizii Agamik that allow students to stay rooted to their culture
especially for those who may feel disconnected by the immensity of university life,” says Morriseau
I encourage you to join our vibrant and growing community and take advantage of all the resources that are available to you.”
Chanse Kornik also encourages students to check the option to receive communication
Kornik is a past-president of the University of Manitoba Aboriginal Students’ Association (UMASA)
“It wasn’t always easy to get a hold of students to be involved in our events,” he says
“If we could provide information to all self-declared Indigenous students
we could be much more productive as a student group
It gives students an opportunity to volunteer
How to sign up for communication about U of M’s Indigenous community
Indigenous students who self-declare are also considered for awards dedicated to Indigenous students such as scholarships
Self-declaration also provides statistical information that allows the U of M to better understand the Indigenous student population
“Self-declaration has brought me many direct benefits including several bursaries and scholarships that have substantially lifted my financial burden,” says Morriseau
“I also believe self-declaration en masse has provided the University with invaluable knowledge of our growing presence for increased allotment of resources specifically dedicated to Indigenous students.”
During the review of self-declaration process
more than 50 Indigenous students provided input on everything from privacy concerns to what type of information they would like to receive about the U of M’s Indigenous community
All information collected through the self-declaration process is kept by the Registrar’s Office and is protected by the Freedom of Information and Privacy Act
“We want to make sure students feel comfortable self-declaring
All of the information collected through the self-declaration process is confidential,” says Christine Cyr
“Some students told us they don’t want to self-declare because they fear they may be penalized or treated differently in some way
we are seeing more and more students who are publicly sharing that they have self-declared
We are here to support all students and their decisions around self-declaration.”
Indigenous students are invited to come to Migizii Agamik – Bald Eagle Lodge as part of Indigenous Orientation on Wednesday
September 14 where there will be a photo booth set up to share their reasons for self-declaring: #ideclareindigenous because…

SolarBot analyses weather pattern, load shedding schedules and customer demand to help consumers decide when to charge and discharge the battery – the rationale being to maximise savings and ensure backup power when required.
SolarBot also works with HotBot, an intelligent geyser controller, that trains the geyser to use less energy and to favour solar over the grid.
Plentify says its bots speak wirelessly to each other to heat water with extra solar that otherwise would have been wasted.
According to the two companies, solar sales have slowed significantly as households shift spending priorities during a prolonged break from load-shedding. Solar installers are now looking to revive post-load shedding sales.
“The relationship between the stage of load shedding and the popularity of solar is quite dramatic,” they point out.
A chart shows Google searches for solar-related terms (solar, batteries, inverters) spiking whenever load shedding is enforced, and flat-lining at levelling off at about 30% of its peak since load shedding eased.
However, Plentify notes that, like globally, the growth of South Africa’s solar market is driven by economics. "When solar becomes significantly cheaper than grid electricity, installations surge.”
CEO Jon Kornik says that while falling solar panel and battery costs have helped, effective use of solar systems is key. “You could have 50 panels, but if the energy has nowhere to go, it won’t be productive,” he explained.
You could have 50 panels on your roof in the middle of a summer’s day, but if that energy has nowhere to go – if your battery is full and home demand low with no grid exports – it will not produce.”
Herholdts will distribute SolarBots and HotBots through its 200-installers network. Technical manager Lukas Stoltz says the future of solar lies in intelligent energy management.
Plans to offer SolarBot directly to consumers are in the works, with pricing details to follow.

Indonesia’s most populous and—for the time being
the city of nearly 11 million people on the island of Java
is sinking as much as ten inches per year due to the excessive extraction of groundwater because piped water is not readily available
The World Economic Forum says nearly all of North Jakarta could be under water by 2050
Indonesian officials announced an ambitious plan to relocate the capital to Borneo
What’s not on hold is another ambitious plan: building the country’s first underground transit system to combat Jakarta’s notorious pollution and traffic congestion problems
which cost the city some 67.5 trillion IDR ($4.9 billion USD) annually
according to the Indonesian Ministry of National Development Planning
Construction of Jakarta’s Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system began in 2013
but the first concept of a metro in Jakarta dates back to the 1980s
The first phase of the project finished in 2019 and has already exceeded its target of serving 65,000 passengers per day
VISION by Protiviti’s Editor-in-Chief Joe Kornik caught up with Sabandar to discuss the ambitious project that’s been nearly 45 years in the making and how it will impact Jakarta’s future
A passionate professional enjoying 25 years of leadership roles in public and private sectors
in various development fields: transport infrastructure and system
Kornik: I know this has been a very long-term project with lots of planning and multiple phases
Can you update us on where the project stands right now
what the timetables are and what’s next for the project
Sabandar: The idea started back in 1985; then the first feasibility study came in the 1990s
we started the work in 2013 and completed the first phase in 2019
That phase consists of 16 kilometers in South Jakarta and opened in March 2019
Now we are in the second phase where we continue with another 12 kilometers in North Jakarta
with a plan to complete it some time in 2027
Jakarta will consist of a north-south network of 28 kilometers
We are also preparing the implementation of the third phase
Construction on that phase is scheduled to launch next year and be completed sometime in 2029 or 2030
we are preparing for the fourth phase: This is also in South Jakarta and is about 12 kilometers and scheduled to be completed in 2029
We have also begun planning the fifth phase
I wasn’t even aware there was a fifth phase scheduled…
we haven't announced the fifth phase just yet
After the north-south and east-west lines are complete
the metro will consist of 325 kilometers covering 10 lines serving some 30 million people in the Jakarta region by 2030
This is how the MRT will become the backbone of Jakarta
One of the things the MRT will bring to the city is a new landscape
Jakarta will move from a very centralized city to one that is serving entire areas being developed along the metro line
the development has always followed the roads
but the MRT master plan is to develop new towns along the rail stations
We call this “transit-oriented development,” and it will change the landscape of Jakarta in the future
Kornik: I know there are more than 2.5 million daily commuters in central Jakarta
making Jakarta one of the most congested—and polluted—cities on the planet
Is this why this project is so crucial to not only the city of Jakarta but the entire region
Jakarta was one of the most congested cities in the world
although we are aware some of that could be due to COVID
But those congestion numbers demonstrate how the arrival of MRT and people starting to move to public transport have already had an impact
But this is not just because of the MRT alone; since 2019
we’ve started to integrate the MRT into existing public transport
the commuter rail lines and all the feeder systems
nearly all residents of Jakarta will be within 500 meters from public transport
I believe that if you want to create a good city
you must create a good public transport system
And when you integrate it with the feeding systems
this is an entirely new concept for Jakarta
Do you think it's enough to just build it or do you think there has to be some education to convince people to use it
Sabandar: Very interesting that you ask that because yes
that was among our concerns: How do we change the culture of how people travel
We had some public transport and people just weren’t using it
But when we launched the first MRT line in 2019
we had many people riding it right from the start and it exceeded our initial ridership goals
I think people were happy that Indonesia finally had its own metro
if we wanted to see this kind of modern transport
the MRT in Jakarta set a new standard of service
I told the team that you must give the extra mile of service to all the people; every single passenger gets treated with respect
There’s no rubbish on the trains or in the stations
And we have a very dedicated staff; they do not sit
Even I stand while on the train to set an example
We are creating a new culture of public transport that we never had before
You educate the community by showing evidence that public transport can lead to a more civilized life; this is how a modern city works
and Jakarta’s track record has not always been great when it comes to the environment
I've heard you talk about how sustainability is key for all future projects
tell me a little bit about what the MRT can deliver in terms of sustainability and the environment
Sabandar: It’s a big part of our mission; we changed our motto recently to highlight how the MRT is promoting mobility and ensuring sustainability
and we defined it as core to our long-term strategy for 2030
We have a sustainability committee that screens all the projects we do
and we started to also produce a sustainability report for the work that we do
We can already see from the evidence that Jakarta has less traffic
part of that is due to less travel during the pandemic
is a practice that we do now for future generations to reduce congestion
Kornik: Let’s talk about the unique environmental challenges that are facing Jakarta
The city is sinking several inches a year due to groundwater that’s being removed by residents
I’m thinking that would present some unique challenges building a transit system
for sure there are some challenges in terms of construction and tunneling
and it's more costly because we’re dealing with soft soil and sediment all over Jakarta
and we have some learnings from other places
this is not an issue because there is a population that needs MRT; it's just a matter of making sure we have the proper technology to be able to manage the environment correctly
There’s another challenge with building the second phase and that’s that the construction is happening in the north where a lot of Jakarta’s heritage sites are located
I know there’s been a lot of talk about moving the capital to Borneo
Jakarta is the largest city in the Southern Hemisphere
if the government decides to move the capital
I think it gives us the chance to redevelop Jakarta in a more sustainable way
The city has a lot of government buildings
which I think could be repurposed or turned into green areas
We could reposition Jakarta as a cultural city
a sustainable city and as the economic center of the region
I envision Jakarta’s future as an economic and cultural hub with less traffic
but paint a picture of Jakarta in 2030 or 2035
What will be the overall impact on the city
Sabandar: The trajectory of Jakarta being a sustainable
the structures of the MRT and its integration with public transport will be complete
only about 20% of Jakarta residents are using public transport; by 2030 we think that number will be more like 75%
I believe we are changing the landscape of mobility in Jakarta
and new urban regeneration projects along the line will create entirely new communities and a new vibrancy and culture for the city

A man from Lakewood is in trouble with the law for allegedly selling counterfeit postage stamps
The Ocean County Prosecutor's Office says 33-year-old Yisroel Kornik has been charged with counterfeiting in connection with a series of events that occurred in Lakewood from October 2023 through this month
A joint investigation by local and federal authorities determined that "Kornik had been purchasing and importing counterfeit United States postage stamps from China and selling them on various online platforms such as Amazon and Walmart."
Kornik received multiple notices from United States Customs and Border Protection that the stamps he was ordering and reselling were counterfeit
he continued to import them in large denominations
a search warrant was executed at Kornik's home and detectives seized counterfeit stamps valued at over $10,000
Kornik was taken into custody without incident
The public is reminded that charges are accusations and all persons are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law
