CBI 1-00 | Introductory Episode

It's Monday the 14th of September, and I'm Tonata Kavila with your 1pm news. Young people have been urged to take up leadership opportunities and turn their ideas into measurable impact at the hashtag #BeeFreeBigTalkPanelDiscussionHeldInvinTalk. The Namibia Presidency reports that former First Lady and the One Economy Foundation's Monika Gengos said young people shouldn't wait for perfect conditions to lead and called for greater investment in youth-led ideas and stronger collaboration between generations. Namibia has imported around 343 megawatts of solar panels between 2023 and 2026 with about half-connected to power distribution networks as embedded solar generation expense, sustainable energy-african, Zibousis on Lovus says the first growth has outpaced utilities and regulator ability to track installations and their impact on the grid. South African President Siral Ramaposa says bricks is an important platform for his country to build political and economic ties that benefit SA and its citizens. He attended the 18th Bricks Summit in New Delhi in the over-the-weekend Ramaposa highlighted investment and trade. He also says South Africa will continue to add its voice to the growing call for an inclusive world order. When we struggle as we do now, or to summit such as bricks, we actually meet those who have money and attract them to come and invest and when they come to invest, the investments are accompanied by job creation and that is the great benefit and those who trade with South Africa, who are able to sell our goods to them. Microsoft Chief Executive Sacha Nadella has backed calls for a more deliberate pace of artificial intelligence development, though he says companies must retain full control over their proprietary knowledge and that any safety regime must protect enterprise privacy. White House AI Advisor David Sex has, meanwhile, told the companies to stop waiting for government permission and to regulate themselves. Kate Fischer has latest from Washington. He's not prepared for the United States to stop advancing its developments in any way despite what some of these AI leaders are warning about. He's kind of framing this as a strategic competition, yet another strategic competition between the US and China, kind of suggesting that any form of regulation in the United States on this will be a sort of gift to Beijing in terms of how quickly it can advance and perhaps take over the United States and the development of the technology. And finally, Candy Namibia is officially launching its electric golf arts and utility vehicles at a golf tournament at Omea Golf Club that's on 18 September. The event brings together business leaders and golfers for a first look at Candy's electric mobility range. We spoke to the team's Gerard Erasmus about the new EV range. The future of electric utility vehicles finally arrived in Namibia. Candy Electric utility vehicles are launched at 18 September at Omea Golf Estate, delivering powerful performance, zero emissions, lower operating costs and smart electric mobility built to work harder.
