My Way News - Mandela ceremony interpreter called a 'fake':
"Bogus sign language interpreters are a problem in South Africa, because people who know a few signs try to pass themselves off as interpreters, said Parkin, the principal of the school for the deaf.
And those hiring them usually don't sign, so they have no idea that the people they are hiring cannot do the job, she said.
"They advertise themselves as interpreters because they know 10 signs and they can make some quick money," said Parkin.
"It is plain and simple abuse of the deaf community, they are taking advantage of the deaf community to make money.""
