Fake South African sign interpreter
admitted to a psychiatric hospital
The sign translator at Nelson Mandela's Memorial
Service, who was accused of being fake, and
making up his own signs, has been admitted to a
psychiatric hospital, local media report.
Thamsanqa Jantjie's wife reportedly took him to a
psychiatric hospital near Johannesburg for a
check-up on Tuesday December 18th, and the
doctors suggested that he be admitted
immediately, Johannesburg's The Star newspaper
reports.
"The past few days have been hard. We
have been supportive because he might
have had a breakdown," Mrs Jantjie is
quoted as saying.
Meanwhile the company which employed him to
interpret at the memorial have reportedly
'vanished'
