From 1993 to 2000, TEFSA was the primary non-profit company in terms of Section 21 of the Companies Act and ceased to operate in July 2000. All existing loans on the TEFSA books were transferred to NSFAS.

Such conditions include the use of the means test and the loan conversion of up to 40 per cent of any loan as an incentive for academic success.
