Samsung A02 Smart phone damages the sim card every time you do a software update

I have purchased a Samsung Cellular phone on the 29th of April 2021. I inserted my sim card later that day the phone requested me to update the software which I did. The next thing the phone said insert sim card. The phone stopped working.

The following day I took the phone to Cell C and they advised that the sim had been damaged. I then did a sim swap and the phone worked again. Until yesterday the 27th of May 2021. The phone requested that I update the software. Once updated the phone damaged the sim again.
