Groceries ahoy! Checkers Sixty60 makes waves at Clifton Beach

WE ALL KNOW that Checkers Sixty60 delivery drivers have become the everyday superheroes in South Africa.

From last-minute dinners to ensuring snacks arrive in time for the game, they’ve earned a place in our hearts—and now, it seems, our beaches too.

Picture this: a Checkers Sixty60 deliveryman gliding across the waves of Cape Town’s iconic Clifton Fourth Beach on a jet ski. Yes, you read that right.

A TikTok video capturing the scene has left South Africans chuckling, debating, and, quite frankly, wondering if this could be a glimpse of the future.

Was it a festive season stunt? A cheeky advertisement? Or is Checkers planning to tackle Cape Town's traffic jams by taking to the seas?

Whatever the story behind the jet-skiing delivery driver, the reactions have been priceless. "Can they deliver ice cream before it melts?" joked one TikTok user.

Checkers has already had a big year, from branded aircraft to their wildly popular Little Shop collectables. But this jet ski stunt (or potential service innovation) has taken their creativity to new heights—or depths, depending on how you look at it.

While there’s no confirmation that any groceries actually made it to shore, the spectacle was enough to turn heads and get South Africans talking.

This is what a few TikTok users had to say:

@AlanaHarris:

POV: sorry mam your order will be another 60 minutes . The seas are a bit rough , oh and I dropped your sugar in the ocean . Sorry mam

@Mbuyiselo Vilakazi: Delivery to Robben Island?

@Ridwaan: Next we will see checkers sixty 60 In the sky.

@luke india ramos: just in case you're drowning, and you need some snacks while you're waiting to be rescued

@qeels: checkers will LITERALLY cross the ocean for you

@Dhilshad: Did the sharks place a 60 60 order ?

@Tolliepic4wifi: checkers hired someone from nandos marketing team

Whether it’s a marketing gimmick or a bold experiment, one thing’s for sure: Checkers Sixty60 is riding the wave of innovation—and we’re all here for it.

This delivery driver definitely deserves a tip—even it he's not a bona fida Checkers Sixty60 man!
