Sign Language Interpreter At Nelson Mandela's Memorial Was Fake.

Address
The Fake Translator With President Obama.
An interpreter who was seen by millions of television viewers worldwide translating Nelson Mandela's memorial service into sign language was a 'fake', according to South Africa's deaf federation. The unidentified man, who was broadcast standing alongside world leaders including US President Barack Obama, was making up his own signs, according to the Deaf Federation of South Africa.
With the eyes of the world watching the FNB stadium in Johannesburg, the interpreter was 'moving his hands around but there was no meaning in what he used his hands for,' claimed Bruno Druchen, the federation's national director. Three sign language experts said the man was not signing in South African or American sign languages. What a joke, the ANC hasnt commented about the man even with all the hullabaloo, but the said interpreter is not stranger because a recent footage of him interpreting for President Zuma at an even has been unearthed.
