Not discriminating against people who can't sign when hiring a new sign language interpreter.

Deaf viewers of Nelson Mandela's memorial service have complained that the official sign language interpreter was inept.

The Deaf Federation of South Africa told the BBC the man's signs were "arbitrary" and "did not make sense".

Wilma Newhoudt-Druchen, South Africa's first deaf female MP, tweeted that the interpreter was "signing rubbish".

It just amused me that being able to hang jive is enough to make you the official sign language interpreter at the biggest global event of the year.
