The launch event, held in Johannesburg under the theme “Pure Performance, Pure Confidence”, brought together fans, media, and industry leaders to witness Sacha step into his new role promoting Garnier Pure Active, the brand’s line focused on male beauty and self-care. Interactive experiences included strength challenges and a skincare discovery bar, giving attendees a firsthand look at the products and the lifestyle they represent.

“It’s about more than skincare; it’s about confidence, discipline, and inspiring young men to take care of themselves, both on and off the field.”

Garnier’s local leadership described the partnership as a natural fit. Sacha’s discipline, performance mindset, and influence align with the brand’s vision to authentically connect with young men and encourage a modern approach to self-care.

Rugby Achievements and Endorsements Fuel Rising Profile

Sacha, who plays as a fly-half for the Stormers and Springboks, has become one of South Africa’s most talked-about rugby talents. His rising profile has already led to other endorsements, including a previous ambassadorship with Powerade’s “Pause is Power” campaign, which emphasises balance, performance, and lifestyle.

His outstanding performances during the season earned him South Africa’s URC Player of the Season award, while he was also voted MyPlayers’ 2025 Players’ Player of the Year by his peers. Such accolades would have placed him firmly on the radar of top clubs around the world, but Feinberg-Mngomezulu has chosen loyalty, opting to remain in Cape Town.

At just 23 years old, the Stormers playmaker’s rise on the field has translated into significant financial success, with his net worth estimated in the upper six figures, positioning him among the top-earning athletes in his age group. He extended his contract with the Cape Town-based United Rugby Championship club in December, reportedly worth close to £800,000 (R17.7 million) according to Ruck.
