Five high school boys were spotted living their best lives, cruising in a roofless microbus around a small South African town.

The Facebook page SA HOUSE MUSIC Downloads shared the clip, and social media users couldn't stop talking about how chilled and unbothered the vibe was.

The boys cruise through the town in style

The cute clip shows five Afrikaner kids in school uniforms casually riding in an old red microbus with its top chopped off, giving major safari energy. The vehicle was a DIY job, now reimagined as a convertible, letting the group enjoy the breeze as they rolled through town like it was summer break.

Some were minding their own business, with a few even reading a paper, totally unfazed by being in a bright red, open-roof whip and ignoring the stares. The contrast between the school uniform and the wild ride made it even more hilarious, a mix of old-school discipline and full-on Gen Z freedom.

Many could not get enough of the boys' energy and enjoyed the zero-stress atmosphere the learners brought to the timeline.
