   4 You are notified that the National Director will, within 90 days of publication of this notice, apply to the High

  8 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.
   9 You may, on good cause shown (including the non-availability of any other suitable remedy to protect your
legitimate rights or interests), on 3 days' notice in urgent instances and at least 7 days' notice in other instances
to the applicant, and within 8 days of becoming aware of the order, apply for reconsideration of the order;
   10 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 5 and 6 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.
