The Sign Language Interpreter At Mandela's Memorial Was 'A Complete Fraud' Doing Phony Nonsense Gestures

The sign language interpreter at Nelson Mandela's memorial yesterday "made up his own signs," according to South Africa's deaf federation.

"He's a complete fraud," Cara Loening, director of Sign Language Education and Development in Cape Town, said according to ITV News. "He wasn't even doing anything, There was not one sign there. Nothing. He was literally flapping his arms around."
