Nelson Mandela memorial sign language interpreter was a fraud 4

 Nelson Mandela memorial sign language interpreter was a fraud, deaf community says
The sign language interpreter at Nelson Mandela's memorial service was "a fake who merely flapped his arms around during speeches", South Africa's deaf community has said.
"He's a complete fraud," said Cara Loening, director of Sign Language Education and Development in Cape Town.
"He wasn't even doing anything, There was not one sign there. Nothing. He was literally flapping his arms around."
The interpreter, who translated US president Barack Obama's speech, looked as if he was "trying to swat a few flies away from his face and his head".
"The deaf community in South Africa are completely outraged and nobody knows who he is," Ms Loening said.
"We can't find a name or anything. The organisations who have accredited interpreters do not know him at all."
Attended by almost 100 sitting and former heads of state, the speeches at Mandela's memorial were supposed to be interpreted into sign language for deaf viewers.
Delphin Hlungwane, a spokeswoman for the Deaf Federation of South Africa, said the man picked for the job was "just gesturing in the air".
"He didn't interpret at all, he had zero per cent accuracy," she said.
"International people were watching it as well and they all said he was not using any kind of sign language. They all said they don't understand him."
Ms Loening said her organisation was getting mail from around the world "wondering what on earth this man was doing there".
"It's a real embarrassment. Its complete disrespect for the deaf community and for what Nelson Mandela stood for and the support which he gave toward the deaf community."
The ruling African National Congress (ANC) has professed no knowledge of the man's identity, even though television footage from a party congress a year ago appears to show the same man gesticulating on a stage alongside president Jacob Zuma.
"I don't know this guy. He doesn't work for the ANC. It was a government event. Ask them," spokesman Jackson Mthembu said.
Zuma spokesman Mac Maharaj said he was checking the reports to try to determine the man's identity.

Come on man, it's one thing to have some political differences, but really? The guy supported a moderate reform to the healthcare system, it not like he's declaring martial law and having people tortured.

it's not like officials spend money cause they have to because people assign them spend more money to enact change in government reform and in business and for the community that essentially hired them.
no, they just get propped by either the "left" or "right", and depending on which "party" props them up, the opposite party gets stuff taken away from them to help assist the government.
which is cool, because this is how things work. i mean, humans can get it any better then that!

The next president is going to spend even more money or else the US Gov't goes bust. Thats why Obama spends so much.

Haha yea I was gonna post that too
"Jantjie said that while he was on stage at the FNB Stadium he saw visions of angels. He also told the AP that he has previously been violent and was once hospitalized in a mental health facility for more than a year."
Oh man, if only he would have tackled Obama or something, that would have been great.

Maybe he took some of that AM-HI-CO stuff
Nelson Mandela was my lifelong hero, this all is extremely inappropriate and very unfortunate, but even I see the humor of it, cripes

Sign language interpreter for Mandela memorial says he was hallucinating, often becomes 'violent'
A man being criticized by sign language experts for providing fake interpretations while standing close to President Obama and other heads of state at Nelson Mandela’s memorial says he becomes violent “a lot” and was hallucinating during the event.
Thamsanqa Jantjie did not describe his qualifications for being a sign language interpreter, but told The Star he works for an interpreting company that paid him $85 for interpreting Tuesday's event, according to The Associated Press. He told Radio 702 on Thursday he's receiving treatment for schizophrenia and had an episode while on stage at FNB Stadium in Johannesburg.
"What happened that day, I see angels come to the stadium ... I start realizing that the problem is here. And the problem, I don't know the attack of this problem, how will it come. Sometimes I get violent on that place. Sometimes I will see things chasing me," Jantjie said in an interview with The Associated Press, describing his hallucinations.
"I was in a very difficult position," he added. "And remember those people, the president and everyone, they were armed, there was armed police around me. If I start panicking I'll start being a problem. I have to deal with this in a manner so that I mustn't embarrass my country."
Asked how often he had become violent, he told The Associated Press "a lot" while declining to provide details. He also did not say which president he was referring to, but did apologize for his performance and admitted he was once hospitalized in a mental health facility for more than a year.
From Idi Amin eating human penises to clown suit warriors in Liberia to Khadaffi in drag this is just another incident that reinforces the justified perception that Africa is a bizarre violent laughing stock of stupidity.

the guy was just horrible inexperienced, and the news keeps on reporting it as if "a security breach has happened and the guy is a "fake".
lol, the Media Funeral Organizers can't admit they another mistake by hiring that dude. 
This guy isn't just inexperienced -- he actually knows no sign language whatsoever, not even the basic convention of spelling out proper nouns.
Not only does he not know sign language, he also knows nothing about sign language.
