Mandela 'fake' interpreter Thamsanqa Jantjie: I was hallucinating


The man accused of faking sign interpretation while standing alongside world leaders like U.S. President Barack Obama at Nelson Mandela's memorial service said Thursday he hallucinated that angels were entering the stadium, has schizophrenia and has been violent in the past.

Thamsanqa Jantjie said in a 45-minute interview with The Associated Press that his hallucinations began while he was interpreting and that he tried not to panic because there were "armed policemen around me." He added that he was once hospitalized in a mental health facility for more than one year.

My mom is fluent in sign language & she told me within minutes of seeing dude that he was making no sense... BUT, my mom is blonde ( love her dearly ) so she actually asked if maybe sign language was different in Africa.

Sign language is universal.
Sign language actually is different in different parts of the world. The version used here is ASL; American Sign Language.

It's not universal at all: List of sign languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
