WORLD
JOHANNESBURG (AP) The man
accused of faking sign interpretaton
while standing alongside world leaders
like U.S. President Barack Obama at
Nelson Mandelas memorial service
said Thursday he hallucinated that
angels were entering the stadium,
sufers from schizophrenia and has
been violent in the past.
Thamsanqa Jantjie said in a 45-minute
interview with The Associated Press
that his hallucinatons began while he
was interpretng and that he tried not
to panic because there were armed
policemen around me. He added that
he was once hospitalized in a mental
health facility for more than one year.
A South African deputy Cabinet
minister, Hendrieta Bogopane-Zulu,
later held a news conference to
announce that a mistake happened
in the hiring of Jantjie.
Government ofcials have tried to
track down the company that provided
Thamsanqa Jantjie but the owners
have vanished into thin air, said
Deputy Minister of Women, Children
and People with Disabilites Hendrieta
Bogopane-Zulu.
She apologized to deaf people
ofended around the world for Jantjies
incomprehensible signing, and said an
investgaton is under way to determine
how Jantjie was hired and what vetng
process, if any, he underwent for his
security clearance.
The deputy minister said the
translaton company ofered sub-
standard services, the rate they paid
the translator was far below the normal
levels and that in order to maintain
the interpreters concentraton level,
interpreters must be switched every
20 minutes. Jantjie was on the stage
for the entre service that lasted more
than three hours.
She declined to say who in South
Africas government was responsible
for contractng the company that
provided the translator, or how those
rules could be fouted.
Its an interdepartmental
responsibility, she said. We are trying
to establish what happened.
Jantjie, who stood gestculatng three-
feet (1 meter) from Obama and others
who spoke at Tuesdays ceremony
that was broadcast around the world,
insisted in the AP interview that
he was doing proper sign-language
interpretaton of the speeches of
world leaders.
But he also apologized for his
performance that has been dismissed
by many sign-language experts as
gibberish.
I would like to tell everybody that if
Ive ofended anyone, please, forgive
me, Jantjie said. But what I was
doing, I was doing what I believe is
my calling, I was doing what I believe
makes a diference.
The statements by Jantjie raise serious
security issues for Obama, other
heads of state and U.N. Secretary-
General Ban Ki-moon who made
speeches at FNB Stadium in Soweto,
Johannesburgs black township. The
ceremony honored Mandela, the ant-
apartheid icon and former president
who died on Dec. 5. Many of them,
including Obama, stood one yard
(meter) away from Jantjie.
What happened that day, I see
angels come to the stadium ... I start
realizing that the problem is here. And
the problem, I dont know the atack
of this problem, how will it comes.
Sometmes I react violent on that
place. Sometmes I will see things that
chase me, Jantjie said.
I was in a very difcult positon, he
added. And remember those people,
the president and everyone, they were
armed, there was armed police around
me. If I start panicking Ill start being a
problem. I have to deal with this in a
manner so that I mustnt embarrass
my country.
Asked how ofen he had become
violent, he said a lot while declining
to provide details.
Jantjie said he was due on the day
of the ceremony to get a regular six-
month mental health checkup to
determine whether the medicaton he
takes was working, whether it needed
to be changed or whether he needed
to be kept at a mental health facility
for treatment.
He said he did not tell the company
that contracted him for the event
for about $85 that he was due for
the checkup, but said the owner of
SA Interpreters in Johannesburg was
aware of his conditon.
AP journalists who visited the address
of the company that Jantjie provided
found a diferent company there,
whose managers said they knew
nothing about SA Interpreters. A
woman answered the phone at a
number that Jantjie provided and
said it was not for the company, and
another phone number went to a
voicemail that did not identfy the
person or company with the number.
Jantjie said he received one year
of sign language interpretaton at a
school in Cape Town. He said he has
previously interpreted at many events
without anyone complaining.
The AP showed Jantjie video footage
of him interpretng on stage at the
Mandela memorial service.
I dont remember any of this at all,
he said.

Once again, just
when I think the
Rochester Police
D e p a r t me n t
cant get any
worse when
it comes to
v i o l a t i n g
the rights
of innocent
citzens, they
prove me wrong.
On Wednesday morning, Nov. 27,
Edison High School students Raliek
Reid and Daequon Carelock, both 16,
along with 17-year-old WanTauhjs
Weathers, were waitng for a school
bus in downtown Rochester.
The three star players on the Edison
Inventors basketball team were all
heading to a game.
But, they never made it. Thats
because an overzealous Rochester
police ofcer arrested the teens.
Why? It was probably for WWB, also
known as Waitng While Black.
Or maybe it was SWB; otherwise
known as, Standing While Black.
Too bad this happening in a city
with such a rich history of civil rights
leaders like Frederick Douglass and
Susan B. Anthony, who are both buried
in Mount Hope Cemetery, just minutes
away from downtown Rochester.
Of course, the RPD, who has had a long
history of misconduct and corrupton,
including several controversial arrests
in just the last couple of years, would
never admit that their ofcers are
trained to profle African-American
citzens for WWB or SWB.
Instead, they come up with a b.s.
excuse like saying the three young
men were obstructng the fow of
pedestrian trafc, even though they
were standing on a public sidewalk,
simply waitng for a bus.
It reminds me of Benny Warr.
A disabled, African-American, one-
legged amputee, who was also waitng
for a bus when Rochester police
ofcers Anthony Liberatore, Joseph
Ferrigno, and Mitchell Stewart II
pepper-sprayed and beat him.
All because, according to the ofcers,
Warr ignored their commands to move
from the sidewalk.
It was a public sidewalk.
Similarly to Warrs case, the Rochester
police ofcer who arrested the teens
claimed that they ignored his order to
disperse.
Again, it was a public sidewalk.
When the teens tried to explain to
the ofcer that they werent loitering,
but instead waitng for a bus, the RPD
ofcer arrested them.
We didnt do nothing, said Raliek
Reid. We was just trying to go to our
scrimmage.
Interestngly, the RPD report makes
no menton of any obscene or
foul language, or any other sort of
disorderly conduct.
We was just waitng for our bus and he
started arrestng us, said WanTauhjs
Weathers.
And, according to the teens coach,
Jacob Scot, when he asked the RPD
ofcer to let the teens go, the ofcer
threatened him with arrest as well.
He goes on to say, If you dont
disperse, youre going to get booked
as well, said Scot.
Scot, who is also employed by the
Rochester City School District as a
guidance counselor, added, I said,
Sir, Im the adult. Im their varsity
basketball coach. How can you book
me? What am I doing wrong? Mater
of fact, what are these guys doing
wrong?
The Edison basketball coach says the
incident was not only traumatc for the
players who got arrested, but also for
others who witnessed it.
Its a catastrophe, said Scot. These
young men were doing nothing wrong,
nothing wrong. They did exactly what
they were supposed to do and stll
they get arrested. Im speaking to the
ofcers with dignity ... and stll and yet,
they see me get treated like nothing.
The players families had to post $200
bail in order to get their children out of
jail for Thanksgiving.
They are not bad kids, said Crystal
Chapman, one of the teens mothers.
They are awesome boys.
And to think, disgustng incidents
like this are commited by those who
take an oath to protect and serve,
but instead they abuse that oath by
mistreatng innocent students who are
doing nothing wrong.
I wonder what Douglass and Anthony
would say.
They would probably say, Shame on
the Rochester Police Department.
Shame on Rochester, NY.
Despite its history, Rochester is a city
where police continue to violate citizens rights
