Fake Deaf Signer at Mandela CeremonyThe man giving a sign language interpretation to the world at Nelson Mandela's memorial service was a fake whose gestures meant nothing, it has been revealed.Bruno Druchen, the national director of the Deaf Federation of South Africa, said the unnamed man seen on television next to leaders like US President Barrack Obama "was moving his hands around but there was no meaning in what he used his hands for." SouthAfrican MP Wilma Newhoudt, a member of the ruling party, also said the man communicated nothing with his hand and arm movements. Both Mr Druchen and Ms Newhoudt are deaf. Three sign language experts said the man was not signing in South African or American sign languages. South African sign language covers all of the country's 11 official languages.Nicole Du Toit, an official sign language interpreter who also watched the broadcast, said that the man on stage purporting to sign was an embarrassment.“It was horrible, an absolute circus, really really bad,” she said. “Only he can understand those gestures.”

This is what happens when people are not checked out. Happened to us with Obama. His father was not born here. 4951

Maybe when they realized they forgot to book the interpreter they said, "Who is going to notice anyway.  The death community is so small."   Guess that backfired. 4951

@Annie: OH wow.  What a slip.  When I was in college I worked with Students who were deaf so I should of been better at checking my word usage.  I have to say though that the Death community is very very very large but I don't think they are considered by the current government.
