The Siyahlola programme, which means "we are inspecting", is the President's hands on, on-site monitoring of government performance in the delivery of services to the communities.
The visit to Umzimkhulu on Tuesday will introduce the programme formally, given the success it has generated since the President undertook his first visit to the Eastern Cape in June 2011 to monitor service delivery in education.
Zuma has visited a number of areas in different provinces, including Limpopo, North West, Eastern Cape and Gauteng.
According to the Presidency, tomorrow's visit will give the President an opportunity to assess first-hand progress with regards to various service delivery initiatives in the area - including road diversion and re-landscaping, an upgrade of the storm water drainage system and a sewerage treatment facility for animal pounding.
"The community received a special mention during the State of the Nation Address in 2011, after a resident Bongokuhle Miya wrote on the Presidency's Facebook page that his hometown of Umzimkhulu was in a poor, dilapidated condition, alerting the President to challenges such as flooding in the town, sewerage overflow and animals roaming the roads freely.
"After President Zuma mentioned the details of this posting in the State of the Nation Address last year, a Presidential Monitoring team, comprising officials from the Department of Performance Monitoring and Evaluation paid a visit to the municipality to assess the nature of the challenges and proposed interventions by the municipality, in partnership with other spheres of government," said the Presidency.
Zuma is expected to conduct site visits to planned, ongoing as well as completed projects before attending a community engagement.
