 OF 1998
           NOTICE IN TERMS OF SECTION 39 OF THE PREVENTION OF ORGANISED CRIME ACT 121 OF 1998
 (POCA)
          The National Director of Public Prosecutions applied for and was granted a preservation of property order in
 terms of section 38 of the Prevention of Organized Crime Act, No. 121 of 1998 in the High Court of South Africa
 (Gauteng Division, Johannesburg) on 24 March 2023 in case number 2023/024210 in relation to:

          The amount of R180 000 together with interest accrued thereon held in the Nedbank bank account of Tourvest

 the Nedbank bank account of Tourvest Financial Services (Pty) Ltd previously t/a American Express Foreign Exchange
 and now t/a Travelex (the property).
          Take notice that:
          1 The National Director of Public Prosecutions (National Director) has, in respect of the property, obtained a

           2 If you have an interest in the property, you should understand that it is now at risk. You are advised to
obtain legal advice on whether your interest can be protected and, if so, on how to protect it;
           3 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 POCA for an order declaring the property forfeit to the state. The order will remain in
force until the application for a forfeiture order is finalised, and until any forfeiture order that is made is satisfied;
           4 If you intend to oppose the application for a forfeiture order, or you intend to apply for an order excluding
your interest from a forfeiture order in respect of the property, you must enter an appearance in terms of the order. The
requirements for such an appearance are set out in the order and are also dealt with in sections 39(3), (4) and (5) of
the POCA. An appearance must comply with these requirements;
           5 Your attention is specifically drawn to the 14-day time limit prescribed in section 39(4) for the entry of an
appearance referred to in paragraph 4 above;
           6 If you enter an appearance in terms of the order you will be entitled to be given 14 days' notice of the
application by the applicant for a forfeiture order in respect of the property;
           7 If you fail to enter an appearance in terms of the order or to comply with the above requirements, you will
not 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 POCA;
           8 You may, on good cause shown (including the non-availability of any other suitable remedy to protect your
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 a reconsideration of the order;
           9 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 application
at a later date. Failure to do so can result in a forfeiture order being granted against the property by default and without
further notice to you;
           10 Whenever this order states that you must deliver or serve any notice, affidavit or other process document
on the applicant, you must deliver or serve them on the applicant at the following address:
