From My Way News: 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 saw "angels" at the event, has been violent in the past and
suffers from schizophrenia.
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.
Jantjie, who stood gesticulating three-feet (1 meter) from Obama and others
who spoke at Tuesday's ceremony that was broadcast around the world, insisted
that he was doing proper sign-language interpretation of the speeches of world
leaders.
But he also apologized for his performance that has been dismissed by many
sign-language experts as gibberish. http://apnews.myway.com/article/20131212/DAAKPE1G0.html
Nothing like having a man with a violent past who was supposedly hallucinating being only feet from Obama and other world leaders.
Maybe the Secret Service was more interested in Obama taking pictures of himself and flirting with the Denmark prime minister.
