Only in SA: Woman carries around a chicken in her backpack

Whoa look, it's Mayor Goodway and her pet chicken, Chickaletta...

As a South African, there's rarely anything you can say that will surprise us. 

We are just a unique bunch of people with a distinct way of life. What makes us even more special is that we are unapologetic and don't care much for the naysayers. 

Over the years, we've seen many things that are out of the ordinary, things that go against the grain, things that stand out from the crowd, and today, we are here to share just another one of those stories. 

In a video shared on social media, we see a woman who appears to be standing in a queue at a bank inside a shopping centre in Cape Town. 

The woman, holding documents in her hand, is busy chatting to a friend in line with her, all while carrying a backpack. But something unusual can be peeking out of the backpack. 

A chicken had its head out of the bag, calmly looking around as if this was something we often saw. The person who posted the video captioned it: "When you think you've seen it all..."

Take a look at the video from TikTok

Some people say they didn't see the chicken at first. Most people were focused on the documents in her hand, thinking that was the focus of the video. 

Others thought the chicken was just a fluffy keyring.... or the live version of a Labubu doll.
