prefererence div pay out

[gida]

I keep checking the list of shares for which dividends are being declared. I subscribed to an offer of Absa and Nedbank pref shares. but I don't see them declaring the dividend. The offer said dividends would be paid on 30 June and 31 December. and the pricing even included an "accrued" dividend. Does this mean that on Saturday I'm gonna have extra cash or must I wait for the dividends to be "declared" how will I know if there are NO DIVIDENDS declared?
