Brenda Ngxoli: ‘I did not purchase any new teeth’
Addressing the allegations in the comments section of Maphepha Ndaba’s Instagram page, Ngxoli said her visit to the House of Smilez was strictly for a dental check-up and cleaning.
She also pointed out that her “Hollywood Smile” was gifted to her by the dental practice at the beginning of last year.
“For the record: I did not purchase any new teeth. House of Smilez gifted me my Hollywood Smile at the beginning of last year,” she wrote.
Ngxoli said the false allegations were an attempt to destroy her name.
She added: “Attempting perhaps to destroy my integrity, write your lies. Whatever you were hoping to achieve is between you, your conscience and God. I forgive you.”
