This notice is addressed to Ikechukwu Kingsley Eze and all other persons who have an interest in the amount
of R 3 250 in cash seized by members of the South African Police Service, currently held in the SAPS' Head Office

1205 and receipt number 0023001186600 (the property):
Take notice that:
1 The National Director of Public Prosecutions (National Director) has obtained a preservation of property
order (the order), a copy of which is attached to this notice, in terms of section 38(2) of the POCA in respect of the
property;
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 In terms of Rule 6(8) of the Uniform Rules of Court, you may upon delivery of not less than 24 hours'
notice, set down the matter 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.

on the applicant, you must deliver or serve them on the applicant at the following address:
