This is an urgent plea to all veterinarians in the vicinity of Steve Hofmeyr’s house. Could any of you please spare a muzzle for a good cause?

Not content with calling blacks the architects of apartheid, the Hof has now taken to Twitter and caused another furore.

OK, so we get he was probably rather bleak about having his TV and Xbox burgled from his holiday home. That’s not anyone’s cup of tea. The problem comes when you send out a tweet to your 130 000 followers that reeks of racist undertones:

For us rooineks out there, the translation is “We were just robbed in our holiday home. The stench is still lingering.”

I suppose seeing as though he does most of his damage on Twitter these days a muzzle might not do the trick. We suggest two courses of action.

Firstly, a grown-up takes his phone away, sends him to the naughty corner and tells him to think about what he has done.

Secondly, maybe a doctor could help us out and disconnect his foot from his mouth, which has been permanently lodged there for the past few years.

Steve, all is not lost. If you want to nab an Xbox at a killer price click HERE. Brains sold separately.
