Accountability
Hosts, analysts and callers make calls on air every day — rate cuts, reshuffles, title races. We extract the falsifiable ones from the broadcast transcript, wait for the horizon, and score them against public sources. Every call keeps its audio receipt.

Graded means checked against a public source after the check-by date. Verdicts judge the claim, never the person: hosts, guests and callers all count.
The verdict· graded 23 Sept
On 2026-09-22, reports publicly identified the arrested senior police officer as suspended deputy national police commissioner Lt-Gen Shadrack Sibiya.
The claim only asks whether the officer’s identity would be publicly confirmed by 22 September 2026. The 2026-09-22 passages do so explicitly, naming Shadrack Sibiya and describing him as the arrested senior officer accused of sexual grooming and rape.
The verdict· graded 24 Aug· weaker evidence
Matlala’s legal team prepared the supplementary affidavit and later sought condonation for a late filing after the 22 August 2026 deadline.
The claim says the legal team would file a supplementary affidavit within days, and the outcome shows they did prepare and later submit that supplementary affidavit. That matches the substance of the prediction, even though the later condonation issue concerns timing rather than whether the filing happened.

The verdict· graded 18 Aug
Vusimuzi Matlala’s Madlanga Commission testimony was postponed to 1 September 2026.
The claim said Matlala’s testimony would be postponed, and that is exactly what happened: it was postponed to a later date. The outcome matches the claim, with no mismatch in the core prediction.
