| The family comedy movie,
Racing Stripes, now on circuit in South Africa, has proved a winner
with audiences and for two local charities which benefited by a total

Racing Stripes, a movie about a Zebra with an identity crisis and his farm “family” who help him to realize his dream of becoming a racehorse, was filmed exclusively in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands at the Riverholme Farm at Mooi River and the Scottsville Racecourse in Pietermaritzburg.
