Stormers director of rugby John Dobson was delighted to sign the young gun for the foreseeable future.
"Sacha has been earmarked as a generational talent since he was a schoolboy and it is has been great to see him break through into the senior ranks in the last few seasons.
"Now that his future here is confirmed we are looking forward to seeing him develop further and fulfil the potential that is clear to anyone who has watched him play.
"He has the ability to become a world-class flyhalf and we want to equip him with everything he needs to do just that.
"Our intention is to retain the top talent we have here before looking elsewhere and this is the first of a few announcements that we will make to show how serious we are about continuing this project and keeping the bulk of our current squad together until at least 2027," Dobson said in a statement.
