Mandela Interpreter Signs Up

(PRETORIA) The sign language interpreter at Nelson Mandela's funeral service provided his own interpretation of remarks including appearing to be trapped in a box and engaging in a mock tug of war with an unseen opponent. A spokesman for South Africa's president, Jacob Zuma said the interpreter might not have gotten the gist of the remarks but, "he made it a hell of a lot more interesting for everyone." Lefty Sweezle of the Association of Sign Language Interpreters said the government has ignored them, "as usual our complaints have fallen on…. well you know."
