  23. I went to the Nsfaf office in Windhoek and they said I can only reactivate my account next year and that they only need my invoice from Nust. Last week I contacted another Nsfaf staff member and told them about my situation and said that I was given wrong advice, she added that I do qualify for reactivation, so are the loan reactivations still ongoing?
