Ever wondered what a sign-language interpreter would do when faced with a NSFW translation. Well the simple answer is… their job.
South Africa has had it’s fair share of sign-language interpreter controversy in the past so its no surprise that during the State of the Nation chaos last night, the sign-language representative would be roped into the disorder.
President Jacob Zuma’s hour and a half long speech at SONA2017 left opposition parties underwhelmed and unimpressed while the African National Congress lauded the president’s key points for 2017.
A sneezing, throat-scratching, giggly and confident Zuma delivered a speech to ANC, United Democratic Movement, Inkatha Freedom Party and National Freedom Party MPs.
This after the Economic Freedom Fighters were again forcefully ejected from the National Assembly, guests were pepper sprayed and the Democratic Alliance and Agang MPs staged a walkout.
The president’s address was delayed for over an hour by talks of cable ties, injections and soon after by punches and screams.
During the chaos, one parliamentary member swore at the Democratic Alliance… and the sign-language interpreter… well, did his job.
The picture and video have been trending on social media with South Africans doing what we do best when faced with political unrest. Laughing.
