“That’s What You Call Service”: Heroic Sixty60 Driver Rescues Stranded Motorist

• A Checkers Sixty60 delivery driver stopped during his shift to help a stranded motorist
• The driver did not just try to help on the spot, but helped him even after their first option failed
• South Africans were moved by the driver's kindness, with many calling on Checkers to give him a bonus

A Pretoria fitness trainer captured a moment of pure kindness on the road and the video quickly warmed hearts across South Africa. Facebook user @janine.enslin shared the clip on 21 April 2026, showing a Checkers Sixty60 delivery driver who stopped to help a motorist in need. She posted it, saying:

"That's what you call service @checkers_sixty60"

In the video, the Sixty60 driver is seen on his bike next to a vehicle that had broken down due to a flat battery. The driver first tried to jump-start the car using the bike's battery, but this didn't work. Without hesitating, the driver and the motorist got onto the back of his motorcycle, and the two rode off together. When they came back, they had a brand new battery. The driver helped get it installed and the car started up without any trouble.

What made the moment stand out was that this driver was on duty when he chose to stop and help a complete stranger. Delivery drivers work on tight schedules and stopping for any length of time can affect their targets and earnings. Despite that, this driver not only stopped but took the motorist to a different store to buy a new battery, waited, came back, and helped get the car running again. The whole effort took well more than a quick pit stop.
