Nicole Du Toit, an official sign language interpreter who also watched the broadcast, said in a telephone interview 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.”
First of all, describing it as a circus applied even before the guy got up to do his hand dance, really, and I do mean, really.
Secondly, Lady, we sympathize with your plight. We've got the aame problem every time the President speaks, nobody understands a damm thing he says.

Just as expected. The interpreter conveyed every cogent thought of our childlike President.

Mandela Ceremony Sign Language Interpreter ‘A Fake’

Sort of like Zer0 and Saint Nelson?

[Steamburg]

Does this mean that the man gave an accurate representation of the Me, Me, Me crap that these dignitaries spew or does it mean that nothing meaningful was ever uttered by the attending posers?

Before you blame the messenger, look at what he was working with.

The ‘fake’ sign language interpreter at the Madiba memorial did not even know the recognised sign for South Africa, writes Charl du Plessis. The Mandela memorial’s “fake” sign language interpreter is the same interpreter about whom the deaf community had complained to the ANC as early as mid-2012.

I saw that and I didn’t recognize any of his hand signs. I assumed he was ‘signing’ in Boer or Zulu..............

“When a deaf person complains, nobody listens,” said Newhoudt-Druchen.”

The faux interpretor is actually multi-talented. He was also one of the engineers of the Obamacare website.

He must be using the "whole word" approach applied to sign language. It's not his fault we don't understand him. We just haven't been educated enough yet. Back to the training camps for us. (sarc)

Hey, Bubba was there. They should have him do it.

Hand signs? I did not see it but by any chance was it this guy?
