Astral’s Chris Schutte hospitalised due to heart condition

Dr Theuns Eloff, chairperson of Astral, said the business will remain in good hands while Schutte recovers.

Schutte fell ill during the latter part of a trip to France. He was part of a South African industry and government delegation who met with its US counterparts to negotiate a deal around US poultry imports and the African Growth and Opportunity Act (Agoa) renewal.
