Radio host Nick Feinberg responded to internet users who felt the need to critically examine the racial identity of his son Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu.

The 22-year-old former junior Springbok captain and current Stormers player recently made his international senior Springbok debut in a victory over Wales at Twickenham Stadium in London.

In the match, Sacha showed how confident and composed he can be at the highest level, taking a penalty from almost 60 metres.

As Sacha put on an excellent display, no one was prouder than his father Nick, who shared several posts on social media about how proud he was.

While Sacha may have gained the trust of many South Africans who may have wondered what the future of SA rugby would look like once the current senior players retire, there was one user who took the opportunity to research Sacha’s ethnicity.

The young Flyhalf and his famous brother Nathan Mngomezulu, popularly known as a contestant on the Netflix reality show, Too hot to handleThey have a white British-born father, Nick, and a black mother, South African human rights activist Makhosazana Mngomezulu.

However, a user recently commented on the matter, writing:

This is Springbok player Sacha Feinberg Mngomezulu and his brother Nathan. They were born to Nick Feinberg and Makhosazana Mngomezulu. The so-called Colored People came this way, but today many of them claim to be “Khoisan” and the so-called Black Bantu of West/Central Africa photo.twitter.com/8wwsaMykiN

In response, Nick defended his family, writing:

Wow, what a bunch of BS…

His post was later met with massive support from many people who criticized the comments made by X users.

My point is that today there are many so-called colored people (there is no such race) who claim to be “Khoisan” and aborigines and tell so-called blacks (there is no such race) that they are not natives. The point of this post is that people of color came into being through race mixing photo:twitter.com/S0HwKjHJHS

Meanwhile, Sacha’s long-range goal seemed to be more than enough to impress Dr. Rassi Erasmus, as the Springbok coach not only smiled from ear to ear after the incident+ but now also included a player from his reduced 39-man squad for the match matches against Ireland.
