Mandela's memorial: the interpreter who wasn't

It turns out that the sign language interpreter for deaf people at Mandela's memorial was apparently not signing a single word of what anyone said.

    I am half deaf(it's like being half black and using the n word)", this man is a legend no.mayter what anyone says. I have never laughed so much at the effortless finesse of his deception.

    They had a DEAF SCHOOL. A school which had staff THAT COULD ACTUALLY DO SIGN LANGUAGE. Why weren't they the ones to be hired? Why did they choose that clown instead?

    plot twist: he was hired to assassinate someone and stole the real interpreter's identity in order to blend in but the plan went sideways and he was forced to improvise

    You still say listen even when deaf. it does not only mean using your ears. In Swedish we say lyssna, or syssna (listening with your eyes).

    Cause they wanted the opinion of a deaf person not that of an interpreter.
