 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.
            3         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.
            4         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.
            5         If you intend to oppose the application for a forfeiture, 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.
            6         Your attention is specifically drawn to the 14-day time limit prescribed in section 39(4) of the POCA
 for entry of an appearance referred to in paragraph 4 above.
            7         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.
            8         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.
            9         You may apply for reconsideration of the preservation order on no less than 24 hours-notice in terms
 of Rule 6(8) of the Uniform Rules of the High Court.

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