his exterior. Only when he comprehends that his difference is a good thing, can he look beyond himself and find thecourage to help the rest of the animals in the Karoo.

When researching Khumba, Silverston met with Professor Reinhold Rau, the founder of the Quagga ProjectAssociation. Rau started the investigation that ultimately proved the Quagga is simply a subspecies of zebra thatlooks dissimilar rather than being an entirely separate species.

“It is exciting to be associated with the Khumba story,” says Lardner. “The Quagga Project’s awareness will no doubtnow grow as youngsters and school learners are afforded the opportunity to visit the ‘live’ Khumba in one of ourlocations on the slopes of Table Mountain.”

Visit www.KhumbaMovie.com for more information about the film which releases in South Africa through IndigenousFilm Distribution on 25 October 2013.

Tafelbergse kwagga na rolprentsterKhumba genoem

KAAPSTAD. – Op Tafelberg wandel ’n rolprentster.

Wel, nie eintlik nie.

Op 25 Oktober begin die animasieprent Khumba in Afrikaans en Engels in Suid-Afrika draai. Dit is ook dieeerste 3D-animasieprent wat in Afrikaans uitgereik word.

’n Jong kwaggavul van Tafelberg is nou na dié hoofkarakter van die prent genoem. En nes Khumba het diéKhumba ook net die helfte van sy strepe.

Khumba is deel van ’n projek van die Kwagga Projek-vereniging wat poog om die kwaggaspesie “terug tebring”.

So wat presies is die verskil tussen ’n kwagga en ’n sebra nou weer?

Volgens ’n veearts van die Tygerberg-dierehospitaal kan ’n kwagga beskryf word as ’n subspesie van diesebra. Hulle het ook strepe, maar slegs op die voorlyf. “ ’n Kwagga is basiese dieselfde ding as ’n sebra. Dieoorspronklike kwagga is egter baie jare gelede uitgewis,” het hy verduidelik.

’n Veearts van die Panorama-dierehospitaal het dit beaam en bygevoeg: “ ’n Kwagga se patrone is anders asdié van ’n sebra. Die gewone patroon van ’n sebra is slegs aan die voorkant van ’n kwagga. ’n Kwagga se

boude is heeltemal eenvormig bruin.”

Ironies genoeg is Tafelberg ook die plek waar die regisseur van die fliek, Anthony Silverston, die eerste keermet dié dier kennis gemaak het.

MEET LOCAL STAR KHUMBABy astrid.februariePhoto : supplied2013-10-04 12:00FILM STAR: The young quagga foal named Khumba.

Home / Meet local star Khumba

A young quagga foal is the star of a new South African animation film entitled Khumba.

The coming-of-age story was released by Triggerfish Animation Studios and tells the tale of a journey of self-acceptance.

Khumba will soon take up residence in the SANParks reserve on the slopes of Table Mountain says CraigLardner from the Quagga Project Association.

“The Quagga Project’s awareness will grow as youngsters and students are afforded the opportunity to visitKhumba,” says Lardner.

Ironically, this is where director Anthony Silverston first learned of the fascinating animal. He remembers readingabout the quagga as a child and being fascinated by the fact that an extinct animal could come back to life. Helater recognized the potential for this extraordinary creature to be a strong visual metaphor for anyone strugglingwith identity.

“If we continue to see our differences as something negative, at what point will we really be okay with ourselves?”he asks.

Khumba will be released in South Africa by Indigenous Film Distribution on 25 October.
