An Interpreter that was used during the funeral of Nelson Mandela in South Africa was found to be just signing random hand gestures that were not at all recognizable, the "circus show" was broadcast all over the world. I was waiting for Jimmy Kimmel to take responsibility - but so far he has remained quiet.

According to Sky News, "three sign language experts" confirmed that the man was not signing in any recognizable South African or American languages.



Nicole Du Toit, an official sign language interpreter who also watched the broadcast, said the man on stage was an "embarrassment".

She said: "It was horrible, an absolute circus, really really bad.

"Only he can understand those gestures."

Arutz Sheva notes that the gaff has a more serious side to it. The clear lack of a proper vetting process for a man given such close proximity to world leaders including US President Barack Obama presented a major security risk.

South African authorities are attempting to track the man down, but so far his identity is unknown.
