Jantjie refused to respond to claims he was declared unfit to stand trial on murder because of psychiatric problems. @eNCAnews — Karyn Maughan (@karynmaughan) December 13, 2013In the exclusive eNCA report, the court records reveal that the murder, attempted murder and kidnapping case in 2003 was against Jantjie and other people. The case was referred to the South Gauteng High Court in 2004 and apparently finalised in 2006 but the file is empty.
Jantjie became upset when I asked him about 2003 murder, attempted murder, kidnapping charges. Asked me "where you get this personal info"

Following Nelson Mandela’s memorial it emerged that Jantjie, who was interpreting at the event, wasn’t making any sense with his signing. He has since said that he may have been experiencing a schizophrenic episode on stage.
The South African government has admitted that he was “not a professional sign language interpreter.”
