When sign isn't sign


Where else but in South Africa would anyone scam as a sign language interpreter, and perform with the US President and dozens of visiting dignitaries present?

Look at the video, biggrinbiggrin

Makes you wonder what an interpreter is capable of doing at a high level meeting between Obama and Putin.

Apparently he has provided sign translation at 'many high level functions'. But wasn't it obvious? A nasty fellow from his record too.

It makes you wonder what other sorts of fraudsters bluff and get away with it.

In Australia there have been those who claimed illustrious war service and got away with it for decades. Often despite sporting medals for service that was ludicrously impossible, and wearing the medals wrongly.

Maybe the internet allows greater scrutiny from those who can pick up on the detail (not all of us are any good at detail), and makes discovery more likely and public.

 I think it hilarious that they spent millions on security and he gets top billing on stage. He has gone down in history. Gotta love the schizophrenic excuse. Nelson would have had a good laugh. even "the chaser" couldn't have pulled that one off.

Yeah, when you do think about it, It is funny, and he has done it before, and the deaf people are shaking their heads saying they can't hear him.!!!

I just wonder what language he was signing in, we can assume it was not English, maybe in the language spoken by Mr. Mandela's own family tribe.
