How embarrassing! Lol. According to South Africa's Deaf Federation, the sign translator who was seen by millions of people on TV translating at Nelson Mandela's Memorial Service yesterday was a
fake, who was making up his own signs. SADF said the man, seen moving his hands beside world leaders as they gave their speech at FNB stadium, communicated nothing that made sense.
"The structure of his hand, facial
expressions and the body movements did not follow what the speaker was
saying. I was really upset and humiliated. He made up his own signs. What happened at the memorial service is truly a disgraceful thing to see. It should not happen at all. It will be forever aligned with Nelson Mandela & Deaf Community, thanks to this fake interpreter.' A member of the World Deaf Federation said

I think the man should be squarely punished for being a jackass in such a serious occasion. RIP Madiba
I saw the female interpreter instead, not this one in the pic. She had good body language and whispered what she was signing/translating and that was best-practice, for checks.
But, where the heck did he come from? Organizers' bad.

What is "I must chop Linda money" you must be crazzy.
You know Linda, I was looking at the dude during the broadcast....and from the little I have watched from the signs lady way back as a child in Sesame street, something just felt off. Like he kept using the same signs repeatedly but I never imagined it would be gibberish. I mean, world leaders were at this event for crying out loud.This is Hilarious!
Wonders shall never end...lol
Is sign language universal or country specific like spoken language?
LOL the man don confuse na
My thoughts exactly Bonario!
Sign language translator scamming noni.
We should not be surprised about this.
