Take notice that:
2) If you have an interest in the property, you should understand that it is now at risk. You are advised to

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 sections 39(3), (4) and (5) of the

5) Your intention 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;

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

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

on the applicant, you must deliver or serve them on the applicant at the following address: The State Attorney: Mr T
