Activate app on a new cell phone

I called the call centre 4 time to assist me to activate my phone app on my new phone. Verified my cell number my email, checked my sim cards done all of it, the app asked for a selfie and every time it say the phone cannot be verified with Home affairs. Tried deferent back grounds, and light settings. I am willing to do skype call or whatsupp call to proof my identity. To go the the nearest branch is 220km round trip that will cost me R650.00 just to show my face and get the app activated. There must be a way to resolve this, unless the bank want to pay the transport costs of R650.00

So it is the next business day, I can bet you no one will contact me or if they do will not be able to resolve this issue. How can this type of service be allowed and to operate as a business. Read the reviews on Capitec its pathetic to think we trust this bank with our money.
Cancelled a policy this morning need the app to stop the debit. Will the bank pay that money back in my account if I can't stop the debit.. you know that will never happen.
Go check, they send everybody the same automated response. Nobody from the bank calls back, is it because they are non customers service driven, seems that way to me.
