A South African sign language interpreter accused of making up his own signs during a memorial to Nelson Mandela has faced charges for murder, rape and kidnapping, it was claimed today. Thamsanqa Jantjie, 34, stood just a few feet from from President Obama and others who spoke at Tuesday's ceremony that was broadcast around the world. South African news website eNCA reported this morning that Mr Jantjie, who has schizophrenia, has faced charges for rape (1994), theft (1995), housebreaking (1997), malicious damage to property (1998), murder, attempted murder and kidnapping (2003) charges. The website stated it is unclear if the 2003 murder case was ever concluded as the court file was found to be empty during their investigations.
 
I just watched the video. Had I seen that I would never have said stuff about different forms of sign language. It was very clear to me that he knew nothing at all about sign language. His face never moves, and facial expression is very important to the language. If he said anything at all in sign language he said the same thing over and over and over sometimes in slightly different order.

:rofl2:

How did that guy get past the Secret Service, does nobody do a check of people that are going to be near the president?
