Service delivery will be high on the agenda when President Jacob Zuma and 11 Cabinet Ministers meet mayors from across the country in Cape Town next week.

The Presidency said on Thursday that all nine Premiers would also attend the meeting, to be held in Khayelitsha on October 20.

The more than 283 mayors would be accompanied by their municipal managers.

The aim of the meeting was to discuss the state of local government, and service delivery at local level.

"The meeting follows previous service delivery improvement meetings that the president has been holding to improve dialogue and action within the public service, for example with school principals and the police," the Presidency said.

"Local government is one critical area which needs an intensive focus of all spheres of government.

"The President has decided to take a more hands on approach in dealing with this and all matters of service delivery."

The Ministers would include Minister for Performance Management Collins Chabane, Planning Minister Trevor Manuel, Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan, and Human Settlements Minister Tokyo Sexwale.
