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.
The verdict· graded 31 Aug
Hakainde Hichilema’s swearing-in was scheduled for 1 September 2026, not by 31 August 2026.
The claim set a deadline of 2026-08-31, but the research notes say the inauguration was officially set for 2026-09-01. Since it had not gone ahead by the stated date, the prediction was wrong.

The verdict· graded 30 Aug
On 28 August 2026, Parliament’s Portfolio Committee on Higher Education held a student-accommodation colloquium that included the Private Student Housing Association.
The committee meeting happened on the stated date, and the notes say the Private Student Housing Association’s proposal was presented or raised there. That matches the prediction’s claim about both the audience and timing.
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.

On 26 August 2026, the National Assembly rejected the EFF motion of no confidence in Speaker Thoko Didiza, with 282 votes against and 101 in favour.
The prediction said the motion would fail, and the vote result shows it was defeated. That matches the claim exactly, including the date and the specific motion against Speaker Thoko Didiza.

The verdict· graded 27 Aug
On 26 August 2026, the National Assembly voted down the motion of no confidence and Speaker Thoko Didiza remained in office.
The claim predicted that Didiza would be removed by the motion on that date, but the recorded outcome was the opposite: the motion failed and she survived the vote. Because the specific event happened and produced the opposite result, the prediction is incorrect.
