In addition to the renewal fee, the ZACR registry has imposed a redemption fee.
This needs to be paid in order for the domain to be reactivated.
Alternately, you can allow the domain to expire and then re-register the name.
However, this does open the name up for registration by third parties which could mean that you will lose the domain name.
