Scary WhatsApp “warnings” and other viral content shared on that platform have contributed to the fear and paranoia of many a user.
Does an empty cool drink can on my pavement mean my house has been “marked” to be burgled? Are people posing as home affairs officials going to rob me? And is my Jack Russel going to end up in a dog-fighting ring?
South African WhatsApp users often get bombarded by viral messages making a variety of claims, be it from a neurotic neighbour or a loony relative. It’s often very difficult to distinguish between what is real and what is fake. On open platforms such as Facebook or Twitter, fake news or alerts are usually spotted by someone and reported. But on WhatsApp, fake messages are hard to spot and are often taken at face value.
This is why fact-checking NGO Africa Check has decided to launch a service that can either authenticate or disprove content shared on WhatsApp.
Kate Wilkinson, acting deputy chief editor at Africa Check, told News24 that the organisation will be launching a new fact-checking mechanism aimed specifically at WhatsApp users. “It is a ‘show’ of sorts that is going to be produced and shared as a voice note on WhatsApp,” says Wilkinson.
This is how it works: if you receive a dodgy WhatsApp or in any way doubt the authenticity of information that you received in a WhatsApp message, you can send it to Africa Check’s dedicated WhatsApp number or tweet a screenshot to its Twitter page.
“If they receive a viral video or something they think might be a hoax, they can forward that to us on WhatsApp. Over the course of a month, we will have a look at what we get and then put together a two- to three-minute breakdown of what is true and what not.”
The name of the ‘show’ is going to be What’s Crap on WhatsApp, says Wilkinson, and will be produced by Africa Check and Volume Investigations, an NPO dedicated to the production of investigative audio shows and improving the state of radio journalism in Africa.
“We have weekly broadcast lists where we send out a roundup of everything we have fact-checked – that’s how we usually engage with people. So at this stage we will send it out as a broadcast to people who have added us and people can respond to us and we engage with our followers on WhatsApp and respond to follow-up questions.”
Dark social media
Wilkinson says it’s extremely hard to determine the extent of fake news and bogus messages shared on WhatsApp. “We don’t actually know. WhatsApp is often described as ‘dark social media’ because we don’t know what is being shared on WhatsApp groups and people like the platform because they know that they can communicate without anyone [other than the intended recipients] seeing what is being shared.
Help us fight #fakenews & misinformation on WhatsApp! Tweet us a screenshot of a dodgy warning, hoax or viral video you’ve seen on WhatsApp recently. We’ll debunk the dodgiest fakes & send it back to you in a voice note. pic.twitter.com/S5LCqhVL8L
“We know that fake news is being shared on WhatsApp but we can’t fact-check it if we don’t know what is being shared.
“If you look at the work we do with traditional media, such as Twitter and Facebook, we are able to see if something is amiss, but when it comes to WhatsApp we rely on users to send that information to us and we hope with the new voice note show that more people will learn about our work. We hope people will simply click ‘forward’ to our WhatsApp number so that we can check it out.”
Though the service has not been launched officially as yet, people are encouraged to start sending suspicious content to Africa Check’s dedicated WhatsApp line, 073 749 7875 (South Africa only), or to tweet screenshots to its Twitter handle, @AfricaCheck.
“Once we have a range of fact-checks to make we’ll hopefully send out the first show within a month or so,” Wilkinson says.
“So far we’ve received viral videos of quite graphic violence that people have asked us to verify; we’ve also received what appear to be fake police warnings about criminals putting stickers on the back of cars and we’ve also received an interesting voice note about some sinister plot of criminals poisoning people before robbing them.
“So we’ve been getting some really interesting stuff which, alarmingly, gets shared widely in WhatsApp groups. It’s mostly about preying on people’s fear, so we hope that our voice note show can help bring some reasonable thought into what people share on WhatsApp in South Africa.
“That is why this is so important. We can’t expect to keep doing our normal fact-checking and publishing it on our website, going on radio and TV and just hope that our fact-checks are going to end up in a WhatsApp group.
“We need to produce content that can be easily shared on WhatsApp groups and voice notes and potentially images or short videos have a much better chance of countering false information shared on that platform.”
Africa Check is a non-profit, non-partisan fact-checking group established in June 2012 with the stated aim of improving news gathering in Africa. Its website is partnered with the School of Journalism at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa to support the training of journalists on how to check the factual accuracy of statements by politicians and media outlets. – Wikipedia

Cape Town – Utility back Cheslin Kolbe has his sights set on playing for the Springboks at the Rugby World Cup in Japan later this year.
The 25-year-old, who currently plies his trade at French club Toulouse, says 2018 was a dream come true when he made his Springbok debut and went on to win seven caps.
The versatile Kolbe, who can play either wing or fullback, told the fiekie7.co.za website that he was looking for more of the same in 2019.
“We are blessed with lots of quality outside backs in South Africa and I see that as a positive for all of us, because that keeps us all on our toes and can just improve each and everyone’s game. Definitely giving everything I have to be part of the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan and will just play the best rugby I can.
“Last year was a dream come true for me. Being called up to the Springboks and making my Test debut is something I will cherish for the rest of my life. I’ve learned so much as a player in the time I’ve been a part of the Boks and I’ll keep on learning. I had the best time with the brothers, it’s really a good team culture and atmosphere. No egos.”
Kolbe added that he’ll play anywhere Bok coach Rassie Erasmus prefers him.
“I’m comfortable and having fun at both wing and fullback. To me it’s a similar job. At fullback you have more time on the ball and have to make clever decisions from the back. So I’m happy to play either of the two as long as I can add great value to the team and that my performance will be to a great benefit for the team.”
The 2019 Rugby World Cup is scheduled for September 20 until November 2.
If you need a new hip or knee, take heart: The vast majority of these joint replacements last decades, new research shows.
The conclusion stems from an exhaustive review of several hundred thousand joint replacements in Australia, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden and New Zealand.
Replacements last for decades
The researchers followed nearly 216 000 hip replacement patients for 15 years. They also tracked 74 000 for 20 years, and more than 51 000 patients for 25 years.
Overall, 89% of hip replacements lasted 15 years, and 70% lasted 20 years. Nearly six in 10 lasted 25 years, the study findings showed.
In addition, the researchers looked at knee replacement patients, including nearly 300 000 patients who were tracked for 15 years; 92 000 who were followed for 20 years; and about 80 000 who were tracked for 25 years.
Of those who had total knee replacement, 93% lasted 15 years. The same was true for about 77% of patients who had partial knee replacement, the investigators found.
Reliable and evidence-based answer
Two decades out, 90% of total knee replacements and 72% of partial replacements were still in good form. Twenty-five years out, those figures dipped to 82% for total knee replacement and 70% for a partial replacement.
Senior study author Michael Whitehouse, of the trauma and orthopaedics unit at Bristol Medical School in the United Kingdom, said the findings answer important questions about the long-term outcomes of joint replacement.
“As a clinician, it gives me the information that I need, to give my patients a reliable and evidence-based answer to one of the questions they consider most important when deciding whether it is the right time for them to have a joint replacement,” he said in a University of Bristol news release.
