The sign language interpreter used at Nelson Mandela's football stadium memorial was a fake, it was claimed this morning.
Braam Jordaan, a deaf South African and board member of the World Deaf Federation, said he believes the interpreter was making up signs as he went along.
"The structure of his hand, facial expressions and the body movements did not follow what the speaker was saying", Mr Jordaan said.
Mr Jordaan claimed the man, who signed for a portion of the ceremony including Barack Obama's speech, was simply making up his own signs.
