He credits much of his balance to a strong family foundation and a tight relationship with his brother Nathan. His brother frequently inspires, supports and celebrates every milestone in his journey.

At 28 years old, Nathan Soan-Mngomezulu exploded onto TV screens through Netflix’s global hit Too Hot to Handle. He quickly became a fan favourite and one of the most memorable personalities of his season.
Viewers were drawn to his charm and confidence. He made bold romantic declarations, stirred playful chaos and projected a carefree sense of fun.
Despite moments where he opened up emotionally, the public still labelled him a “player”. This tag followed him long after filming wrapped.
His romance with fellow cast member Elys Hutchinson began when filming concluded and continued after the show. But recent changes suggest the relationship may be on pause or even over.

Bond built on pride and support
What sets the brothers apart is the unshakeable bond they share. Nathan is often spotted at Sacha’s games, cheering loudly from the stands and unashamedly championing his younger brother’s achievements.
He posts game moments, shares heartfelt captions and highlights Sacha’s wins with genuine pride. Sacha does the same in return, reposting content and standing firmly behind Nathan’s public endeavours.
Their dynamic showcases a rare blend of affection, mutual respect and unwavering loyalty. It offers fans a refreshing glimpse into modern celebrity brotherhood.
Strong family foundation
But behind the public personas and the glamour is a strong family foundation. Their father, Nick Feinberg, is a British-born radio presenter and long-time media personality. He relocated to South Africa and has worked extensively in broadcasting.
Mom, Makhosazana Mngomezulu, is a South African advocate (lawyer) at the Cape Bar, with proud Zulu heritage.
It was Nick who first noticed Sacha’s athletic potential at a young age. This was before Sacha had fully committed to rugby. Nick encouraged both boys to explore their talents.
According to family recollections, Sacha “could have made it in football” or even pursued other sports. However, he eventually found his calling in rugby.
