Take notice that:
1.        If you have an interest in the property, you should understand that it is now at risk. You are advised to obtain

2.        You are notified that the National Director will, within 90 days of publication of this notice, apply to the High
          Court under Section 48 of the Prevention of Organised Crime Act, No.121 of 1998 (“the Act”) for a forfeiture
          order. The preservation order will remain in force until the application for a forfeiture order is finalised and until
          any forfeiture order that is made is satisfied.

          be given notice of the application for a forfeiture order and you will not be entitled to appear at the hearing of
          the application. In such a case, the court may grant a default order forfeiting the property to the state under
          Section 53 of the Act.

          legitimate rights or interests), on 3 days' notice in urgent instances and at least 7 days' notice in other instances
          to the Applicant and within 8 days of becoming aware of the order, apply for reconsideration of the order.
8.        You are specifically advised that even if you intend to apply for reconsideration of the preservation order in
          this case, you must, in addition, comply with paragraphs 4 and 5 above if you intend to oppose the forfeiture
