Nelson Mandela Memorial, Fake Sign Language Interpreter and Security

The hosts analyze the memorial service for Nelson Mandela in Johannesburg, focusing on the fraudulent sign language interpreter, Thamsanqa Jantjie. Jantjie claimed to have suffered a schizophrenic episode involving hallucinations of angels during the event. The incident is viewed as a significant security failure, as the interpreter stood within arm's reach of global leaders including Barack Obama.
