Authenticity of a document

My brother, Lungile Duru who has a Capitec Account, his account was closed as it was not active. Today he went to re-open the account and I had to drive from work to assist him as he didn't have the proof of address. When I got there with the e-mailed statement from Multichoice. I was told that they don't accept e-mailed statement and only take posted statement. I just don't understand as to what's the difference with e-mailed statements? I used the very same statement to collect my bank card which expired at the very same Capitec..Can they apply consistency Regards Tembela
