  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 and must be delivered to the office of the
State Attorney at the address mentioned in paragraph 9, below.
  4.Your attention is specifically drawn to the 14-day time limit prescribed in section 39(4) for the entry of an

  5.If you enter an appearance in terms of the order you will be entitled to be given 14 days' notice of the
