Thamsanqa Jantjie, the fake sign language interpreter from the Mandela Funeral is reportedly -according to his own admissions- being treated for schizophrenia.
However an alarming investigative media report released today from South Africa also reveals he has faced serious criminal charges before including:  rape (1994), theft (1995), house-breaking (1997), malicious damage to property (1998), murder, attempted murder and kidnapping (2003) charges.

The case and court files around the Murder and kidnapping charges have mysteriously disappeared.    It appears that most of the other charges were dropped from prosecution around the defense that Mr. Thamsanqa Jantjie was mentally unfit to stand trial.
He was convicted of the theft charge and sentenced to three years in prison, however it is undetermined if he actually spent any time incarcerated.   On the rape charge he was acquitted – reason undetermined.

The two alarming aspects to this are:

#1 That an investigative report could have found these issues with less than 48 hours of research, and yet security officials “cleared”  Thamsanqa Jantjie to stand next to the most important global leaders.   

#2 The criminal files on the more serious charges for murder, attempted murder and kidnapping are mysteriously missing from official records.  The entire file has disappeared.
