There are plenty of deaf South Africans who went on messageboards to say they had no idea what he was saying, and in the same here (UK ones assumed sign language was slightly different in ZA).
To pull that off. The nerve :D

He obviously had some kind of knowledge of it, because he made some realistic movements, and not many non-signers suspected him. But to just throw random signs up :D Apparently he even got 'hello' wrong.

what the fact that he saw 'angels' ?

i'd be more concerned as to how they allowed someone with a mental problem be in close proximity to big political heads
the whole thing. the mental problem, the seizure, etc. they just hired someone unqualified and are trying to pass it off as if he is so it doesn't seem like it's their fault.

the only small give away was just how out of sync his movements were to the things said, and when i say out of sync im not talking about a few seconds which tends to be the norm but when a short sentence was spoken it the interpreters hand movements would look like even more was said
