Image: Instagram The power play within the Real Housewives of Atlanta (RHOA) has intensified as fans rally for the reinstatement of Kenya Moore, following dramatic revelations from newcomer Brit Eady. The tension escalated during the filming of Season 16's reunion when Eady controversially opted out of participation, citing the emotional toll caused by this season's controversies.

This latest twist comes as Eady shared her decision on Instagram, explicitly stating, 'This was my decision', while confirming her absence from the reunion.

Next Stay Close ✕ The weight of the season's events has profoundly impacted her. 'While I cannot say much right now, I do want to set the record straight about one thing: the graphic sexual photo surrounding the events in Episode 5. That photo was not me,' she asserted, creating a ripple of confusion and concern among fans and cast alike. Eady clarified that she had only recently seen the controversial image and expressed her shock upon realising it did not feature her. 'I was made aware of the photo being presented at the event, and based on what I was told, I assumed that it was somehow a photo of me - which is why I reacted in the way that I did,' she explained. This revelation not only sheds new light on her dramatic reaction but also inadvertently shifts some focus back to Moore, whose departure from the series has left a significant void. I'm disappointed to not be a part of the #RHOA 16 reunion taping today. Please know I take full accountability for my actions and deeply apologize to all those affected including Brittney, the cast, crew, guests and viewers. I look forward to seeing you all back on Bravo soon. — KENYA MOORE (@KenyaMoore) June 5, 2025

The looming crisis: Foot-and-mouth disease and avian flu's impact on South African meat prices
Aviation flu could impact the price of poultry in South Africa. Image: File South Africa's meat industry is currently under significant pressure as multiple factors combine to strain supply and influence prices. Outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) within the country, a ban on mechanically deboned meat (MDM) imports from Brazil due to avian influenza, and challenges facing local poultry producers have created what industry leaders describe as a "perfect storm" impacting availability, affordability, and food security for consumers, particularly those in lower income groups. Gordon Nicoll, chairperson of the South African Meat Processors Association (SAMPA), outlined the challenges: 'We're currently facing a serious supply issue when it comes to raw materials, specifically mechanically deboned meat from Brazil. The problem isn't just about price anymore; it's about whether you can get stock at all. That's the first issue.' Mechanically deboned meat is essential in the production of affordable processed meat products such as polony, viennas, russians, and tinned corned beef, which are staples for many South African households.

Next Stay Close ✕ Domestic production of MDM is minimal, making the country heavily reliant on imports, primarily from Brazil. 'South Africa imports about 19,000 tons per month,' Nicoll said. 'We used to source MDM globally, but the avian influenza outbreak in Europe closed those markets. Brazil was the last open source. Now that is closed too, and other suppliers cannot meet our demand.' The suspension of Brazilian poultry imports since May 15, 2025, following an outbreak of bird flu in Rio Grande do Sul, has resulted in a shortage of MDM and increased prices. 'The price of mechanically deboned chicken has increased by 140% since the Brazilian import ban,' said Imameleng Mothebe, CEO of the Association of Meat Importers and Exporters (AMIE). 'Every day with no imports is another nail in the coffin of food security for millions.' At the same time, the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in South Africa has severely affected the beef sector. A confirmed case at a feedlot in Heidelberg, Gauteng, led to quarantine measures that cut animal slaughtering by nearly 75%. Despite the outbreak, Wandile Sihlobo, chief economist at the Agricultural Business Chamber of South Africa (Agbiz), reassured consumers about food safety and supply. 'Although foot-and-mouth disease is a serious concern for producers, beef products are safe and consumers should not be alarmed,' he said. Sihlobo explained that because South Africa is typically a net exporter of beef, export suspensions result in increased domestic supply, which could place downward pressure on prices in the short term. However, producers bear the economic burden. 'Export bans force farmers to hold cattle longer, increasing feed and care costs,' Sihlobo noted. Minister John Steenhuisen announced that the Department of Agriculture has ordered vaccines to cover the KwaZulu-Natal area, while assessments, as well as forward and backward tracing of the outbreak in Gauteng, are ongoing. "Over 900,000 doses of vaccines were ordered, and the first batch is expected to arrive next week. 'These plans are not only about responding to outbreaks, but also about building permanent infrastructure to manage future risks. 'More broadly, we are establishing a Biosecurity Council that will bring together the South African Police Service (SAPS), veterinarians, scientists, the Border Management Authority, and industry. We are rolling out a farm-to-fork national traceability system for livestock.' The department is also preparing to establish a Biosecurity Council to improve disease surveillance and control. Red Meat Industry Services (RMIS) will open a centralised Operational Centre on June 9, 2025, to coordinate the FMD response. The centre will lead efforts in vaccination, movement control, and collaboration with government and industry stakeholders. 'RMIS was established precisely for a time like this, to provide coordinated leadership and technical expertise,' said RMIS CEO Dewald Olivier. The plan includes expanding veterinary service capacity and creating FMD-free livestock compartments to secure supply chains. The poultry industry is further challenged by the recent business rescue of Daybreak Foods, one of South Africa's largest integrated poultry producers, which had to cull 350,000 chicks amid financial difficulties. This has compounded supply pressures on chicken products. Arnold Prinsloo, CEO of Eskort, South Africa's leading antibiotic-free meat producer, described the combined impacts of the FMD outbreak, Brazilian import suspension, and Daybreak's crisis as a 'triple whammy' for food security. 'Meat is going to be more expensive for everyone this winter, but many people will also face the threat of hunger and malnutrition,' Prinsloo said. He urged the government to narrow the Brazilian import ban to the affected state, Rio Grande do Sul, to allow imports from disease-free regions. The Department of Agriculture has committed to reviewing Brazil's regionalisation application and considering a partial lifting of the import suspension. 'We are following international guidelines which allow trade from zones free of avian influenza,' Steenhuisen said. This approach is aimed at protecting both animal health and food supply stability. AMIE also advocates opening poultry imports from other AI-free countries such as France, Sweden, Denmark, and Belgium, to diversify supply and ease economic risks. Industry bodies, including SAMPA, AMIE, and Eskort, are pressing Steenhuisen to expedite approvals for regionalisation agreements and to reopen trade with approved markets. 'These steps are essential to stabilise supply, ease price pressures, and safeguard jobs across the processed meat value chain,' Mothebe said. While challenges remain, the department emphasises that South African consumers should have confidence in the safety of meat products and supports biosecurity measures to limit disease spread. Livestock owners are urged to adhere strictly to movement restrictions and hygiene protocols. The government and industry are working collaboratively to mitigate the impact of these crises on the meat sector and to protect the food security of all South Africans, especially vulnerable communities who rely on affordable protein sources.
