SACHA FEINBERG-MGOMEZULU: WHO ARE HIS PARENTS, FAMILY?
Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu was born to British-born Nick Feinberg and South African Makhosazana Mngomezulu, of whom he carries both surnames.
Nick is a well known Heart FM DJ and is also a respected sports writer for the Daily Voice.
He told Jacaranda FM of his son’s rise to fame: “I’ve been on the radio probably over 25 years … but now I’m completely redundant, and I’m just known as Sacha’s dad.
“There’s no more Nick. In fact, in the office, I’m called SD for short. I go out with Sacha, you can hardly sit and have a meal. Everyone’s all over him. It’s been a wild one.”
Sacha’s mother is an advocate in the Cape Bar and often retweets messages of support for her son.

Like Sacha, his brother Nathan Mngomezulu is also a celebrity and is known for his appearances in the Netflix show Too Hot To Handle. He is now dating Perfect Match star Elys Hutchinson.
