South Africa kept their Rugby Championship hopes alive with a destructive 43-10 bonus point victory over the All Blacks in Wellington on Saturday, in the biggest defeat the hosts have ever faced. Many will say that he game is won and lost on Turnovers which the Springboks JUST won over the All Blacks so, maybe, McDonalds should rename their foldover!
After more than 20 years on the menu, McDonald’s South Africa is putting the spotlight on a firm fan favourite, the Chicken Foldover. From today, a nationwide campaign kicks off, celebrating not only the Foldover’s loyal following but also its unique appeal and McDonald’s 30th year in the country.
Crafted with 2 chicken patties, crisp fresh salad, and an option of McDonald’s signature garlic mayonnaise or spicy sauce, all wrapped in soft, warm flatbread, the Chicken Foldover strikes the perfect balance between flavour, freshness, and convenience.
“The campaign’s tagline, ‘If You Know, You Know,’ reflects the Foldover’s growing reputation among fans as a lighter, flavour-packed option that stands apart from traditional burgers.Chicken continues to be a key part of South African consumers’ dining choices. The Foldover is a prime example of how we can offer innovative, tasty options that resonate locally while supporting our broader chicken strategy,” said Dan Padiachy, Chief Marketing Officer for McDonald’s South Africa. “As we celebrate three decades in
South Africa, we remain committed to providing menu choices that are relevant, convenient, and, above all, delicious.”
The campaign will also introduce fresh ways for fans to enjoy the Foldover. Highlights include exclusive deals on the McDonald’s App, the chance to win an all-expenses-paid trip to Greece and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 amongst other prizes, and fun features that celebrate the Foldover as the insider’s choice for flavour, enjoyment, and connection.
The Chicken Foldover is available at McDonald’s restaurants nationwide.

Ryan Bacher originally set out to develop and sell technology that would allow retailers to transition to online. But at the time, no other retailers were looking to transition, so they decided to showcase how profitable the technology could be and launched NetFlorist. \”Our plan was to run the site for one day to prove that we could do it. And then we got R30 000 worth of orders. That was the equivalent of a whole month\’s revenue at a flower shop,\” explains Bacher. 19 years later, the delivery giant almost single-handily defined and established ecommerce in South Africa. NetFlorist now operates in major countries and cities around the world, offering its game-changing same-day delivery.
