What do you make of the "fake deaf interpreter" scandal at the Mandela Memorial?

The man who "signed" for the memorial has been exposed as a supposed fake. It has been said on many a TV network that his so called signing was all just meaningless and made-up. Professionals from various organizations for the deaf in S.A. have said this. This admitted schizophrenic was able to be a foot or so from President Obama as well as a number of world leaders. People are all upset because he is an alleged fraud. No one seems to be concerned that he was allowed to get that close to the US President!

Just curious about your reaction to what this situation meant to you. Thanks.

    He's an idiot. He suddenly had a "schizophrenic attack", and he was hallucinating or something. But he still thinks he did a good job. I don't feel sorry for him. This is just another ANC embarrassment.

    It seems he has mental health issues. He has admitted as much. That he was able to do what he did jdoes not speak well of the organizers.

    I couldn't stop laughing. But I feel sorry for him. His face looks like her was so serious in his work. Like a cuddly bear in a nice suit. Poor thing. My heart goes out to him. I think he just wanted to support his family even to be a fraud :( There's a video in 2011 him doing the same thing at a event. Lets pray for him.
