This notice is addressed to Siwundla Trading (Pty) Ltd, Hill Services (Pty) Ltd and Damian Anthony Halket
and all other persons who may have an interest in the property described above.
Take notice that:
1 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.
2 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 a 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 POCA. An appearance must comply with these requirements.
4 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 3 above.
5 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.
6 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.

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.
