Standard Bank acting *******ly?

My son had a ***** attempt on his account, Standard Bank cancelled all cards and froze his bank accounts and will not reissue cards or open his account because he has an old green book ID. Department of Home Affairs has NOT declared these IDs invalid as yet (will happen end 2025) - therefore Standard Bank is acting *******ly. My son is unable to refuel his car to travel to work, he cannot buy groceries as they will not release any funds. There is absolutely no cause for Standard Bank to suspect my son is acting *****ulently.

Thank you so much. There is an added problem now - MTN has cut his phone off because the debit order could not go through because his account has been frozen. The saga continues! I have his office number, so if someone from your office could contact me I can give you details on how to contact him. My number is available on this site.
