             Take notice that:
             1        The National Director of Public Prosecutions (National Director) has obtained a preservation of
  property order (the order), 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;

  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.
