Very bad and disappointing new app update

Why must a user now take a few selfies in order to activate the new app? And why is there a Home Affairs badge where you must take a selfie? What is this for? Who benefits from your selfie photo and why? What is going on here? Not everyone has an e-mail address and now your account won't be activated without an e-mail address. I do not trust this new method and now I do not trust Capitec to safeguard my identity anymore. Good bank, but my trust in the new app has gone down the drain.
