  This notice is addressed to all 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

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)

  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.
