          TAKE NOTICE THAT:
          1. The National Director of Public Prosecutions has obtained a preservation order (the order) a copy of which
is attached to this notice, in terms of section 38(1) of the Preservation of Organised Crime Act 121 of 1998 (POCA) in
respect of the property.
          2.    If you have an interest in the property you must understand that it is now at risk. You will be well advised
to obtain legal advice on whether your interest can be protected, if so how to protect it.
          3.    You are advised that the National Director of Public Prosecutions will, within 90 days of the publication
of this notice, apply to the High Court under section 48 of the POCA, for an order declaring the property forfeited to the
state. The order will remain in force until the application for forfeiture order is finalised, and until any forfeiture order
that is made final.
          4. If you intend opposing the application for forfeiture, or if you intend applying for an order excluding your
interest from the property, you must enter an appearance in terms of section 39(1), (4), and (5) of the POCA.
          5.    If you enter an appearance in terms of the order, you will be entitled to be given 14 days' notice by the
applicant of the application for a forfeiture order in respect of the property.
          6. If you fail to enter an appearance, the court may grant an order forfeiting the property to the state by
default under section 53 of POCA.
          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 reconsideration.
          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.
