South Africa - The world was shocked as they found that the sign language interpreter for Nelson Mandelas funeral was translating pure "gibberish." Thamsanqa Jantjie, 34, claimed to have had a "schizophrenic" reaction. According to The Guardian, Jantjie stated he could not help his compulsive motions and didn't want to reveal what was really going on. As you know, there are multiple ways of translating communication, even sign-language by regions throughout the globe. A sign language expert examined the interpreter from the Mandela service and stated nothing was actually "sign-language." How can a man represent the deaf community and stand amongst global leaders, turning out to be fraud? How disappointing! A family member and others in the community told sources that Jantjie was shocked involved in a group about 10 years ago for murdering two men over a dispute of a television. Many agree Mandelas day is to be reverenced and not made as a joke. Judge officials decided to not continue with the conviction of Jantjie, because they believed he was not mentally fit during the time of the incident. He was also accused on several different counts in the 90's. Many question how would all of this go by security? He was actually approved as an Interpreter by the African National Congress, firm in South Africa. The other conspiracy many may think if not gibberish what were the signs intent if they had any meaning at all? Officials stated that a more vigorous background check should of been done prior to the nationally televised service. Thousands came to the service and millions throughout the world witness the comments of leaders who were inspired by a freedom fighter.
