Mandela memorial sign language guy was a fake, simply 'made childish hand gestures for hours'

He did get them a website, but he REQUESTED that the work will amount to the ridiculous sum of $3.8m. And he didn't even bother to change the footer with the credits to the creator of the theme. It still had the text placeholder 'lorem ipsum etc' in some areas.

It's funny but actually pretty fucked up when you think about it. When's the last time a president openly sang about wanting to kill off an ethnic group...

This country is run by a bunch of clowns and thieves.
They've begun a system called e-Toll, which is basically a bunch of electronic toll gantries and they've instructed the public to fit something called an e-Tag to your windshield, and on all of the major roads in ONE province, and people are outraged at the prices for these tolls and tags. We have to pay a wide variety of taxes including regular road toll fees, and now they're putting this. Some of my friends have calculated how much extra they'll be paying, and for some it's something close to an extra $45 a month, which may not seem like much to most people outside of South Africa, but here it's a shitload of money to be paying for the roads which are always fucked up. These fucking thieves can do anything to make sure they get their new luxury car at the end of the year. It's gotten so ridiculous that a member of government spent around $5100 on [B]fast food[/B] in 10 weeks. Now, I'm not suggesting that we revert back to Apartheid, I'm just saying that the government at the time had their ducks in a row and is a shitload more organised and effective than our current government.

You can thank the Australian's for that. You're using our tolling technology. Sucks, don't it!?
It's worrysome that a self-proclaimed schizophrenic who hears voices can get this close to that many important people. What if "[i]the voices[/i]" told him to snap a neck or something?

You know, I wouldn't mind if the toll fees were in the cents, because it would still bring in a lot of revenue for the country if an estimated 1.7m drivers were using the toll roads in Gauteng (the e-Toll province) alone. But no, some tolls will cost around $2 which is a shitton of money for a toll road, and for someone like me who's recently graduated and is still trying to find their feet in this economic crisis-ridden country, it's difficult to juggle with the addition of hiking fuel prices and stuff.

The fact that he was hired for this huge event and has a history of being a deaf signer probably suggests that there is more to it than him just being a clown.

However if this guy truly is a fraud and his story is fake. Man, what a magnificent clown.
The chick is hot !

Sounds like something you would expect Remi Gallard to do.

Welcome to South Africa, where the President makes racist songs, and the people don't matter.
