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 12 Sept
By 11 September 2026, the committee had not tabled its report and was still seeking an extension to finish the draft.
The prediction required the report to be submitted by that date, but Parliament said on 11 September 2026 the committee was asking for more time instead. Because the report was not actually submitted, the predicted outcome did not occur, so the claimed majority and dissenting views were never established on the official record.

The verdict· graded 07 Sept
By 2026-09-06, the ANC had not publicly concluded its final mayoral nominee selection and was still dealing with election-list turmoil.
The claim required the selection process to be concluded by the deadline, but the research notes show it was still delayed and unresolved on 2026-09-06. That means the predicted outcome did not occur by the specified date.
The verdict· graded 27 Aug
On 26 August 2026, the National Assembly rejected the EFF motion of no confidence in Speaker Thoko Didiza, with 282 votes against and 101 for.
The claim was that Parliament would vote against the motion, and that is exactly what happened on 2026-08-26. The motion was defeated, so the predicted outcome was realized.
