On-air predictions, tracked to the outcome

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.

The verdict· graded 03 Oct

City Power withdrew its technical teams in Kliptown and said electricity restoration would be delayed until they could safely return.

The dated evidence from 2026-10-02 says restoration was delayed and the teams were withdrawn, which conflicts with the claim that electricity would be restored by the evening of 2 October 2026. The passages do not support completion by that deadline.

The verdict· graded 13 Sept

CPUT reported calm on its campuses after the emergency evacuation of residences, with no incidents of violence or protest action reported overnight. (Corrected by the desk: the earlier explanation was an undecided draft.)

The claim was that the student evacuation would pass without violent scenes. Reports dated 20 and 21 August describe calm on campus after the evacuation, with no incidents of violence or protest action overnight, despite the violent unrest earlier that week.

How this works: predictions are extracted by AI from machine-generated transcripts of live broadcasts (“as heard on air” — transcription errors are possible), and outcomes are resolved against public sources, linked on each card. Speakers are named only when the broadcast itself identifies them. This page records what was said and what happened. The reader poll is audience sentiment, not odds — no money is involved and there is nothing to wager on. Corrections: [email protected].
