'Fake' sign language interpreter at Mandela memorial claims it was 'schizophrenic Attack'

Who has been having a stressful day??? this Jantjie guy just made my day. LMAO!!! I can't stop laughing! hearing voices, C'mon man. ROTFL!!!!!! It happened that he sign language translator at Nelson Mandela memorial service, who was accused by the SA Deaf Federation of making up his own signs during the ceremony, has reacted to the rather delicate issue.
34 year old Thamsanqa Jantjie told Johannesburg Star newspaper that he had a schizophrenic attack (Dictionary meaning of Schizophrenia-
a very serious mental illness in which someone cannot think or behave normally and often experiences delusions) during the ceremony so that explains his senseless signs. He claimed that he started hearing voices and was hallucinating while on stage with world leaders.
"There was nothing I could do. I was alone in a very dangerous situation. I tried to control myself and not show the world what was going on. I am very sorry. It's the situation I found myself in," He told the paper. He said he was on medication for Schizophrenia and wondered why he still had the attack
He also spoke with a SA based radio station, where he was asked if he was satisfied with his performance, he replied "Absolutely, absolutely. I think that I've been a champion of sign language"
