Setting aside the ethics of animal exploitation for a second
Africa already has Sanga cattle, that are resistant to trypanosomiasis and have been used in subsaharan Africa for thousands of years.
What benefit would zebras have over Sanga cattle?
If it’s just speed ( with cattle being stronger and more useful for most manual labor) , does that really increase efficiency in production, or does it just make them more useful for warfare?
Also, speed is an advantage in all kinds of communication/communication. E.g. bringing doctors to the scene of an emergency, transporting items with short shelf lives.

I don’t think you can ride cattle.
