Three members of the Student Representative Council (SRC) at UCT have laid a charge of fraud against three other members after R101 000 was spent on a public lecture attended by Eskom's former interim CEO, Matshela Koko, and advocate Dali Mpofu SC.

The three DA Student Organisation (DASO) members lodged the charge with the university's Student Governance Court (SGC) on 1 May.
