Iviki eledlule livule ngamahlebezi abegcwele izinhlelo zokusabalalisa izindaba ngodaba lwezembe elilengela uNkosikazi Jo-Ann Downs weACDP ongusihlalo weKomidi le-SCOPA eliqaphe ngeso lokhozi ukusebenza kweminyango kahulumeni nokusetshenziswa kwezimali okuvela emibikweni eyethulwa nguMhloli omkhulu wamabhuku kahulumeni. Amahemuhemu abekhuluma ngokuxoshwa kukaNkosikazi Downs nokuqokwa kukaMfundisi Hawu Mbatha njengosihlalo omusha. 

USoswebhu omkhulu kaKhongolose uphike wahlanza okudala ngezinhlelo zangasese zokuxoshwa kukaNkosikazi Downs esikhundleni. Siphawula ukuthi losihlalo uphumele eshashalazini ukwembulela izwe lonke inkohlakalo nokungabikho kwezisekelo zokuphathwa koMnyango weZolimo noKongiwa kweMvelo. Inkohlakalo ayigcini eMnyangweni weZolimo kodwa idalulwe nakweminye iminyango kahulumeni kulesisifundazwe. 

Ngokuhlala kwephalamende ngomhlaka 21 February 2008 kwenzeke obekulindelwe. Uxoshiwe uNkosikazi Jo-Ann Downs. Lesisenzo se- ANC sikhombisa ngokusobala ukuthi ukuzinikela kukaNkosikazi Downs ekwenzeni umsebenzi wokwelusa uhulumeni ngobuqotho kumdalele isigcwagcwa. Lokhu kufakazela ukuthi i- ANC iyezwela kakhulu ekwembulelweni izwe kwezenzo zenkohlakalo. Kunongqongqoshe nezikhulu zikahulumeni okudingeka uphenyo ngendlela yokusebenza nokuphathwa kwezintela zomphakathi. 

Isihluku esikhonjiswe yi- ANC kuNkosikazi Downs sikhombisa umkhankaso wokugadla kulabo abangenamahloni ukubeka uvo lwabo kanye nezakhiwo zentando yeningi ezihluba udlubu ekhasini emaphephandabeni. Ukuxoshwa kukaNkosikazi Downs kufana nesenzo sikahulumeni kazwelonke sokubhidliza uphiko lofezela. Noma yisiphi isakhiwo esidalula amahlazo kahulumeni nanoma yimuphi omunye owenza lokho uyasongelwa futhi athathelwe izinyathelo. 

Iqembu leNkatha yeNkululeko kalikukhuthazi ukuqokwa kukaMfundisi Hawu Mbatha ukuba angene ezichathulweni zika- Nkosikazi Downs. I- IFP ibuka umholi weNADECO neqembu lakhe njengalabo abanobudlelwano obujulile noKhongolose. Kungenzeka ukuthi nabo sebengeniswa esibayeni esisodwa.

I-IFP ibona songathi uMfundisi Hawu Mbatha akamsulwa ukuhola ikomidi elicubungulayo njengoba kuthiwa ungomunye wabahlomula ohlelweni loMnyango weZolimo lokusiza abalimi abafufusayo. 

Kulukhuni ukwemukela ukuthi lowo owahlomula eMnyangweni kahulumeni angaba ngusihlalo wekomidi elidingida izindaba ezibucayi zezenzo ezihlatshwa nguMhloli omkhulu wamabhuku kahulumeni. Sibamba ongezansi ngalokho kufezeka kwenqubo kaKhongolose.
