I don't know how I missed this, but apparently someone thought that they could volunteer to be the sign language translator at Nelson Mandela's funeral (yup, you hear this right) without actually knowing any sign language. So that's embarrassing. Don't do that.
After multiple sources from different countries confirmed that all of his signs were gibberish and he wasn't actually signing anything, he blamed it on a schizophrenic episode and said that he had started hallucinating during the presentation (which was why he was just waving his arms about, essentially, instead of, you know, helping deaf people).
