The University of Cape Town (UCT) last week invited former Eskom boss Matshela Koko – who was heavily implicated in the Gupta family's capture of the power utility and in a further R2.2 billion corruption scandal for which he was arrested last year – to lecture students on "ethics and professionalism" and other topics.
Koko boasted on social media about the invitation from UCT's civil engineering department, posting a short video clip of himself outside the university campus on Friday afternoon.
The university confirmed the invitation was extended by a lecturer in the department.
