A woman in the Free State, Raine Dunn, excitedly shared a video of Afrikaner 'cowboys' ready to place their order at a McDonald's drive-thru. The rare sighting amused many people online.

Raine, who uploaded the video on Instagram on 28 December 2025, zoomed in on three people on horseback wearing their "kortbroek and vellies" and called their actions "life goals." While drive-thrus are usually reserved for motorists who want to skip the queue inside the restaurant, there is nothing stopping people using other modes of transportation from doing the same.
