Fake sign interpreter at Mandela’s Memorial 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'
