+HalfTimesTwo I kind of find that hard to believe considering that UA-cam pranksters are just that, pranksters. the guy here is speaking for Nelson Mandela. Nelson Mandela is not a prankster, Nelson Mandela's a political figure.
Simon András Péter it is open to interpretation. It’s not a fundamental law of physics or anything like that. It’s a complicated process but it can be interpreted differently.
+Alan Morris He probably isn't even schizophrenic. It's probably an excuse so he doesn't get in trouble. That's the American way, at least... plead that you have something mentally wrong with you... get out of trouble.
Jessica D I know. But the American way spreads like wild fire. From movies and music, to clothes, shoes, and restaurants. But straight up lying has always been a worldwide action, true. He wouldn't even sign for the reporter. He got mad. He's a fraud. Some people lie to the bitter end.
"no no let's be realistic" at 2:17 got me laughing so hard, this guy is the biggest troll of all time; he has totally conned his way into making an easy living.
He doesn't interpret english you fking moron. He interprets different languages, and uses "sign language" to communicate to those who can't understand since they're deaf.
Robert Allen I didn't say he doesn't have to know the language, I'm saying he doesn't interpret english, he interprets different languages. And for the parts he did interpret english, he did it with his native sign language which he was taught. You fking moron
The fact that he was capable of doing this in a Nelson Mandela memorial, in SA, standing next to the biggest president in the world is legendary and heroic.
Even if he has schizophrenia, he's clearly been treated very well. I have a brother with untreated schizophrenia and he can barely function and refuses treatment. This man had no excuse, and he's lying through his teeth.
Thought the same. This guy is able to go though the huge stress of that day, including preparations and hour long interpreting at a huge event on a massive stage. And the only thing that's noticeable is that his sign language does not make any sense? I think we all have another, much easier explanation.
This is a serious matter. Think about it guys. If he was hired to interpret for a Deaf person that was about to go into surgery and the Doctor asks if he is allergic to latex or any other substance, it would not be interpreted correctly and that VITAL information would be missed. Then it wouldn't be funny now would it? In the code of ethics for interpreting you are not supposed to take a job you are not qualified for.
The patient would call him out. Deaf people can still read and write as well. Lets hope nobody ever winds up with a frauds help in any way shape or form.
It wasn't ASL. I couldn't discern one word. Sign Language varies from one country to the next & his "signs" were very repetitive which I think is more likely fraudulent. Sign Language is very colourful in its expression & its vocabulary is immense.
Every country (pretty much) has a different sign language. South Africans have their own sign language. I've seen it and it is obvious it is a real language. His was obviously not, even to the untrained eye.
Absolutely! He wasn't even a good fraud! He kept using the same signs over and over. Anyone who paid attention to him knew within 2 minutes that he was faking it.
Wtf. He says he's schizophrenic and suddenly he's a "security threat" who's standing close enough to the president to harm him? He's harmless. Having schizophrenia doesn't mean you are violent. This stigma has to end.
This guy is very smart. He made fun of everyone and disrespected Mandela. He made a lot of money in his show at the funeral of Mandela, and right now he says he's sick. That´s crazy!! My question is: Who hired him?
Actually, he is stupid. He got the equivalent of $25. That wouldn't even cover my reimbursement for my mileage. He was hired by a government agency that, when found out, suddenly shut down.
That’s how it works in SA sub-contracting without verifying shit. The company that is now uncontactable probably got paid a shit load for this guys services, gets some random dude, pays him peanuts and pockets the rest. Every government contract works like this here. I am amazed out bridges don’t collapse. Oh wait, that did happen before.
@@ruffdrive4u ooooh don't be fooled sir lol. South Africa is a very rich and extremely corrupt country. And The corrupt folks don't steal small change like $25, trust me. The guy probably made 20million Rands or more. Which would be about $1.5million and gave half to government officials. They don't pay around in SA.
'no no, lets be realistic'. LMFAO. NO, because its not realistic to ask someone to do sign AFTER a massive funeral service where he was the official interpreter and said he was hallucinating, yet can't prove now he can even do sign at all. hahaha amazing
He's lying. He is actually offended that people called him out on his fraud. If you want to know what is wrong with Africa there it is. People like him rule.
I'm pretty sure everything he said in this interview was a total lie . lol especially when he said he wasn't gonna show him any sign language. I just want to take this man back to school.
Why is it whenever someone messes up they have to be like "let me tell you my tragic backstory" instead of "oops, I'm sorry, I messed up. I won't do it again."
Not possible. If he was a qualified interpreter then he would have used the signed language of the country he is in, in this case a South African dialect. And also, there are specific language rules that apply to signed languages such as non manual features; your facial expressions, and how the signs are produced with orientation and movement and location etc. He didn’t follow any of these rules. He is not fit to be an interpreter. I am an interpreter myself, in Australia and I interpret Auslan (from English or into English) thus I have studied all this. I am not a fake like this fella.
This is why I despise discrimination. People act like mentally ill individuals are threats. When in fact, they do less harm than the general public. The so-called mentally ill do not have a strong support groups, yet let alone any lobbyist or special interest groups in their favor.
This just proves that people believes in confidence over knowledge/talent. And most of the time, confidence comes from ignorance/psychological or psychiatric conditions
Not only schizophrenic, also suffering from Dunning-Kruger syndrome. This guy is so incompetent, he has no realisation that he is incompetent. Apologises and asks for forgiveness while insisting he's done nothing wrong. Then there's that idiotic deputy minister. These are the people who run South Africa. Utterly insane (some certifiable).
He is a bafoon he should be jailed and made to pay for making an embarrassment of a great leader like Mandela or of USA's president, it pisses me off also when a fool gets rude to people for asking for proof of a service he claims to provide, as an interpreter of languages at least I have to always show proof I'm a licenced interpreter before I get any job, does South Africa just let any idiot get up and wave his hands??
Trevor Noah: “Jantjies was there translating for those who didn’t understand, unfortunately he also didn’t understand sign language. Which is a small problem, a problem that he didn’t let stop him. When others see obstacles, he saw an opportunity” 😂
🤣 when we get caught our English fades and we get Nervous so we shield it with aggression. We start answering questions by asking a question e.g "you tell me what?" 🤣
I am from South Africa. This is the best they can do. That is why I left 20 years ago. Pathetic and they always play the blame game. Just like our African president.
If you were Deaf and depended on this communication for your understanding hearing people (because you can't read lips like most Deaf people) then you wouldn't think it was funny.
Kevin Lowery I don't think it is funny. I apologize to anyone who got the impression that I was making comedic light of a serious event. The man saw a vision, he was encompassed by something other than his normal self. For the general public to disguise his external reactions as a threat, rightful or not, is simply fallacious and even blasphemous to many beliefs.
The Secret Service's job is to vet all persons that are going to be in close proximity of the president for all types of events. They ate not supposed to rely on foreign security services for the information. Slackers.
This guy is just an ultimate troll.

Lmao hahahahahahahaha
rofl. Dude bullshitted for 9 years getting paid.
Dream job.
lol yeah he's king
Jajajajajajaja
Let's be realistic, he has no signing skills.
Interviewer: I'm just asking you if you could show me some of the signs.
Interpreter: No, let's be realistic.
OK, THAT tells me EVERYTHING.
Zactly.
+Alan Morris He probably isn't even schizophrenic. It's probably an excuse so he doesn't get in trouble.
That's the American way, at least... plead that you have something mentally wrong with you... get out of trouble.
JustAGuy That's possible. However, you can't assume that everyone does that just because "that's the American way". He's not even American.
Jessica D I know. But the American way spreads like wild fire. From movies and music, to clothes, shoes, and restaurants. But straight up lying has always been a worldwide action, true.
He wouldn't even sign for the reporter. He got mad. He's a fraud. Some people lie to the bitter end.
JustAGuy No one's arguing that.
He saw angels... but his sign language was about cooking LOL
obama's face: "fuck, shouldn't have put so much weed in his hit, the guy is a weed virgin 100%"
Samuel Castro I love u Samuel!!!
And smoking lol
Samuel Castro You Made my day 🤣🤣🤣🤣
And smoking,😂 is he asking the angels for a joint?🤣😂
I think he was hired to Assassinate someone, but backed out and just went with the flow.
He would have been dead by the people who hired him
I think your words can put innocents in jeopardy and have their lives taken away.
Think again what you've said.
Nah, he managed to assassinate his dignity pretty fully
Vert Xavier stop waffling
Paul Kirk lmfao best comment ever
" No, no, let's be realistic", this is what this "interpreter" said when asked to show his "skills". I'm choking on my laughter.
"no, no, let's be realistic", i cannot show you sign language
Brilliant

He can BARELY speak english!! How is he interpreting english????
He doesn't interpret english you fking moron. He interprets different languages, and uses "sign language" to communicate to those who can't understand since they're deaf.
+Sir Nosy Actually he has to know the language being spoken to interpret it in a different language. You fucking moron.
Robert Allen I didn't say he doesn't have to know the language, I'm saying he doesn't interpret english, he interprets different languages. And for the parts he did interpret english, he did it with his native sign language which he was taught. You fking moron
They were speaking english at the funeral dingus
He interprets/signs in Ebonics (the official language of our darlings, the African-American intellectuals), don't you see it?
this is fucking hilirious! he asked the reporter to be "realistic."
Biggest troll of 2013
He's ahead of his time. A poet.
milli vanilli of sign language.
😂🤣
Girl you know it’s true

Yea cause words flowing from Obama's mouth could have been misunderstood for "We shall respectfully continue Hitler's directive from this day forward"
Regardless of what the patient says, the doctor needs to make sure that he isnt. You dont just believe in a patient and move on.
He wouldn't have been in this position in the first place
The patient would call him out. Deaf people can still read and write as well. Lets hope nobody ever winds up with a frauds help in any way shape or form.
colomricankat it’s just a prank bro relax
That's a terrible thing to do that's not fair to the deaf, and the hard of hearing.
Have a sook snowflake
He can barely speak proper English, so how can they allow him to translate English into sign language in the first place??
No one, absolutely no one :
Americans : "Could he have been a threat to the President?"
Ikr 😂
Even God was like bruh that's wrong let me send some angels to help him.
They allow a man like this to be in such close proximity to some of the world's most powerful people? Brilliant.
Didn't pose any threat apparently
Yes. Because they all corrupt
Guys he isn't a fraud. The angels in the stadium were too distracting.

Absolutely! He wasn't even a good fraud! He kept using the same signs over and over. Anyone who paid attention to him knew within 2 minutes that he was faking it.
He also made no change in expression throughout any of it. That's a definite red flag.
The biggest freaking trolling in the entire human history :D

about 100 bucks..lmao
About tree fiddy
lol a master troll at work, then when they got found out Oooo i have schizophrenia.
They should make a Movie about this Guy... THE BULLSHITER!!! 100% Blockbuster.

The thing is did he actually interpret anything that was said correctly??
Whoever hired him wasn't doing their job.
BuccaneerChick LOL! that's it.
There are over 300 sign languages. Is it possible he is signing one of them that is less recognizable to a majority of the world?
Not possible. If he was a qualified interpreter then he would have used the signed language of the country he is in, in this case a South African dialect.

He realy was the celeb of that moment,I blame those who hired him,they did so without screenchecking his basic background
use subtitles next time, it was just human error.
how can they use subtitles if it is in real life and not on television??????
Laksh Kalra you got a point there
Michael G mmmmmmmmmmmhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmlol
It was not human error. He was a con man.
Why didn't he tell us this in sign language?
Give it up for the Troll of 2013
He takes the cake.
did he call him John Key at the end of the report 2:18? I though his name was Thamsanqa Jantjie 0:39. John Key is the Prime Minister of New Zealand!
Is no one going to question that he knew every language
Well we really need to ask the question is where did those business owners go?
This just proves that people believes in confidence over knowledge/talent. And most of the time, confidence comes from ignorance/psychological or psychiatric conditions
This killed the comedy.
If the guy was schizophrenic, why is he a sign language interpreter
Not only schizophrenic, also suffering from Dunning-Kruger syndrome. This guy is so incompetent, he has no realisation that he is incompetent. Apologises and asks for forgiveness while insisting he's done nothing wrong.
Then there's that idiotic deputy minister.

He mocked everyone for money. He's a criminal. What can he say on his defense?
Suck it up buddy! You've been caught. Stop making pathetic excuses.

His schizophrenic episode must involve him drawing circles for and smoking cigarettes with angels.
