Cape Town – Nick Feinberg, father of Springboks Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, has clapped back at an X user’s comments on his son’s racial classification.
The 22-year-old made a dazzling debut on the South African national team and his proud father couldn’t stop gushing about it on X.
According to The Citizen, the HeartFM presenter was at the Twickenham stadium, actively supporting his son.
Sacha was one of several new faces on the team, that beat Wales 41-13, over the weekend.
With support and praise floating through the air, all wasn’t good, however, as a post that outwardly slammed Sacha’s racial identity surfaced on X.
“This is Springbok player Sacha Feinberg Mngomezulu and with his brother Nathan. They were birthed by Nick Feinberg and Makhosazana Mngomezulu. So called Coloureds came about this way but today a lot of them claim to be “Khoisan” and so called Blacks Bantu from West/Central Africa,” an X user wrote.

In response to this, Nick clapped back by stating that it was a bunch of nonsense.
“Wow, such a bunch of BS…,” he wrote.
