Checkers Sixty60 rekindles SA-Mexico opener and launches the Boerrito 

| Marketing and Promotions

As South Africa prepares to face Mexico in the opening match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Checkers Sixty60’s playful new online advert celebrates this much anticipated kick-off, alongside the launch of a limited-edition Boerrito - a match day meal inspired by both nations. 

Drawing on the iconic moment in the 2010 World Cup opening match, when Siphiwe Tshabalala scored the tournament's unforgettable first goal for South Africa against Mexico, the advert sees Tshabala passing the baton of "delivering for your country" to a Checkers Sixty60 driver. 

The driver then sets off on a journey to Mexico City, blending cultures along the way: from swapping a makarapa for a sombrero, to introducing a vuvuzela into a Mariachi band, the playful celebration of cultural crossovers culminates at a burrito food truck, where the Boerrito is born. 

The Boerrito is a proudly South African take on a Mexican classic, filled with Championship Boerewors, rice, black beans, cheddar cheese, chilli, coriander and tomato relish.  

Priced at R49.99 - or two for R80 during launch - the Boerrito will be available in Checkers stores nationwide and via Checkers Sixty60 from 9 June, just in time for kick-off on 11 June.
