Mbonambi played in six of the Springboks' seven Rugby World Cup matches as the Boks won the competition in Japan with Mbonambi starting the final against England but his game was cut short due to a head knock.
He finished 2019 with a new contract with the Stormers as well as 36 test caps, seven test tries and a Rugby World Cup winners medal.
The 30-year-old follows in the footsteps of fellow Roc Nation representative Siya Kolisi in switching coastal franchises.
