Botha went on to play for England Saxons in their Churchill Cup success in the summer before making his ful international debut in the World Cup warm-up win over Wales.
Although he missed out on playing in the World Cup itself, he has impressed against both Scotland and Italy in the Six Nations.
Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall said: "Mouritz's progress over the past few years has been fantastic, and we genuinely believe the best is yet to come."
