The hard of hearing among the global audience of millions were left without a clue as to what was being said at the memorial to the late Nelson Mandela.

One deaf South African MP tweeted during the service that the unknown person who was on the podium and signing was “signing rubbish”. “Zero percent accuracy” is how another expert summed up his ability to translate the speeches with sign language.

For some in the 95,000 seat soccer stadium it was a time to celebrate in song the life of their former president. Others struck a more sombre mood.

But at times it was jovial among several world leaders including the US President Barack Obama. Danish Prime Minister Helle Torning-Schmidt and British Prime Minister David Cameron huddled together with him for a smart phone photograph.

But it is unlikely the ‘selfie’ will ever make it onto the White House mantelpiece as one person who looked less pleased was the First Lady.

    Obama is a fool he moans about the media and their side shows. When he wanted to talk about healthcare and all the media wanted to talk about was his birth certificate he complained but he doesn't learn cos another one of their babies/sideshows is that black man and his white woman. Obama is at Nelson Madelas funeral the news should have been Mandela's funeral/Legacy and shaking hands with Castro but, STUPID Obama had to sit next to that ugly blonde woman everyone is saying is beautiful LMFAO takes a selfie and guess what makes the news headline, YES you guess it the Sideshow story

    Oh, the horror. The thought of some lunatic like this making Joe Biden president keeps me up @ night. The lunatic I'm referring to is (of course) the Obamanation. But this other one is just as scary, the "sign language" guy I mean this time. The "selfie" shows what an idiot the Obamanation is, the "interpreter" shows what a crooked incompetent basket case the RSA gov't is. If it wasn't for the excellent infrastructure bequeathed to them & the considerable mineral wealth to cushion the blow, the S. African would all be starving now.

    What a laughing stock. Everything Obama touches turns to crap. Seriously, and now from a security standpoint he's endangering himself badly. You would have thought with all the personal they would have packed there own guys. Its not like they didnt know for weeks on end this was going to happen. Politically this is all a bad joke.

    That Interpreter wasn't a fake . I understood every motion he made it translated "Don't trust one thing that guy is saying ! "

    Golden dragon is an idiot. It is inherenlty racist to think that just because someone is white that they are racist. It is like saying that because someone is black they are thieves. They forget that those whites who made blacks sit at the back of the bus were mostly democrats, those whites who loved to beat up on black slaves, were mostly democrats. Those whites who didnt want blacks in their schools were mostly democrats. Today instead of saying black people cant come to white schools they just have policies which say people coming from black zip codes or neighborhoods cant come to white schools. Today they finance an organization whose founder was a racist and continue her dream by murdering over 400,000 black babies every year. These overtly white racists who were all democrats are just undercover racists making policies which still enslave blacks and minorities. Oh and those fabled dixicrats turned republican, do your research you racist idiot out of 50, 48 went back to their beloved democrat party.

    How did the Secret Service let this faker slip by their security and get close to Obama?

  20. @samhill5102

    May 30, 2024 at 5:50 pm

    After the censors cut out the part of Obamas speech about tapping your phone and his lies the poor signer did not have much to work with.

  21. @alertbayDeafboy

    May 30, 2024 at 5:50 pm

    This fake interpreter is a good example of how ANC organized it poorly, he was so ignorant which means a plenty of money he earned, and humiliating Deaf children all over the world. We, the department of ASL and Deaf Studies (Vancouver, Canada) will use this video to educate hearing students to understand why we, Deaf people have always been oppressed, exploited, and humiliated. It is a wake-up call! Luckily Obama was not being assassinated!
