Oh this just gets better by the day:

The sign language “interpreter,” Thamsanqa Jantjie stunned millions of deaf people with his gibberish hand gestures at the Nelson Mandela memorial on Tuesday. But new developments about Jantjie’s violent past raise even more security concerns considering his arms-length proximity to the world’s leaders, including President Barack Obama. 

A South African TV news outlet, eNCA, is reporting that Jantjie faced a murder charge, among other criminal charges of “rape (1994), theft (1995), housebreaking (1997), malicious damage to property (1998), murder, attempted murder and kidnapping (2003).”

Given that this country has already made a habit of electing completely clueless, narcissistic, incompetent, and thoroughly lazy morons to office, I’d say that you’ve got absolutely nothing to lose by ditching the current buffoon and putting this guy there in his place.

After all, what better way to prove that you’re not all a bunch of crazy raciss sexiss white people than by giving a guy who’s clearly there to prove that the Almighty has a hilarious sense of humour the job of Most Powerful Miscommunicator on Earth?
