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.
