under section 48 of the POCA for an 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;
3. 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 Act. An
appearance must comply with these requirements and must be delivered to the office of the State Attorney at the

In such a case the Court may grant a default order forfeiting the property to the State under section 53 of the Act;

rights or interests), on 3 days notice in urgent instances and at least 7 days notice in other instances to the applicant,

date. Failure to do so can result in a forfeiture order being granted against the property by default and without further
notice to you.
