The signer at Nelson Mandela’s memorial – accused of making up gestures – has been admitted to a psychiatric hospital, local media report.

Okay, so maybe this guy has been given a little too much flak. Thamsanqa Jantjie first came into the spotlight  last week when he was accused by Sign language experts across the globe for referring to “prawns” and “rocking horses” while translating eulogies at Mr Mandela’s memorial. Mr Jantjie was quick to blame the incident on a schizophrenic attack, and in light of new information this seems to be the case.

He [Jantjie] might have had a breakdown, stated his wife Siziwe.

The Star reported that after his wife took him to a psychiatric hospital near Johannesburg for a check-up on Tuesday, it was suggested that he be admitted immediately.
