Councillors serve as representatives of the peopleCouncillors sit in council on behalf of their constituents. Newly-elected councillors represent different political parties and/or organisations. Councillors need to interact with each other as every councillor is mandated by their respective voters. It can be a challenge for councillors to work together and co-operate in the interests of their municipality as a whole.Councillors are the elected representatives of the people and are mandated as elected representatives to make decisions on behalf of their constituencies.As elected representatives councillors need to carry out their duties in a transparent and accountable way. This means that councillors do not act as individuals and do as they wish. Their actions must be visible to the public so that the public (or party to which the councillor belongs) is able to object when it they feel their interests are not being adequately represented. In order to find out what is happening at council level, the public has the right to attend council meetings, and get records and reports provided by council.Councillors serve as facilitators of community/constituency inputCouncillors are expected to be in close contact with their constituencies ‘on the ground’ and to keep council informed of the real experiences and views of the residents within the municipality. Local government legislation has in several places emphasised the importance of public participation as a means to influence council processes. This means that elements of a participatory democracy are also in place in South Africa.Citizens do not have a vote on council, but are meant to influence their councillors to represent their views on any topic that affects them. Councillors have a duty to be accessible to the public to allow for that input.Councillors serve as a communication link between council and community. newcastleadvertiser.co.za/85217/role-and-responsibilities-of-your-ward-councillor/
