"I left Sangomahood for motherhood and Christianity. Thank you @Sky_Ngxoli. Your arrival has opened my eyes and heart to what is mine and what should be left for others to enjoy. Sangomahood is just not for me. I don't judge, but the good Lord knows I was never meant to entertain it."
Brenda responds to hateful messages
The former The Queen star ruffled many people's feathers with her statement. Brenda Ngxoli had to clarify that she meant no harm in her statements and said she could choose whichever religion she wanted.
"Freedom in this lifetime. Tomorrow I may choose Islam. With Prophet Muhammad, may peace be upon him."
In another post, Brenda continued:
"Freedom in this lifetime. Peace and tolerance amongst. All ways of life and religions guide us towards the light. Should I wake up an orthodox Jew tomorrow or in a hijaab. It's also ok. Camagu kuni nonke... Amen kulondawo."
Peeps defend Brenda
Not everyone got offended by Brenda's sentiments. One person called out the mean comments and said Brenda has the right to choose whatever religion she wants.

"Why are people getting worked up based on HER experience and something she specifically said 'is just not for me' she is talking about her, not you."
