JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Two officials of South Africa’s ruling party who were linked to a bogus sign language interpreter at Nelson Mandela’s memorial have resigned from the African National Congress, South African media reported Tuesday.

The New Age newspaper reported that the former officials from the ruling ANC are Bantubahle Xozwa, alleged owner of a company that had hired the bogus interpreter and former head of the ANC’s religious and traditional affairs desk, and his wife Cikizwa, who had been a personal assistant to a senior party spokesman.
