ENGLISH SUMMARY: The aim of this research is to make councillors aware of the various roles and divergent functions, as well as the human skills which are required for the position of the councillor. The research must also serve as normative human skills manual for councillors with no previous experience of democratic governmental processes. The structure of the research is the following: The first chapter concentrates, as background, on the political restructuring process on local government level and the importance of training and development of councillors. The second chapter focuses on the open system and contingency approach as theoretical basis to explain the influence of the various environmental components on the role perceptions and functions of councillors. A model of the role and functions of local authority representatives conceptualizes, explains and simplifies the roles and functions of councillors. The third chapter provides an overview of divergent functions and roles of councillors and concentrates on three roles which councillors perform in general, viz. representative role, management and policy role and political role. The fourth chapter discusses the supporting resources and appropriate human skills for local authority representatives. Attention is given to the training and development of councillors. Appropriate human skills for councillors are classified according to the three skills typology which is used in the classification of management skills. By using the technique of post analysis, a post description for councillor, a councillor as committee chairperson and a councillor as mayor respectively is given in which the post objective, primary tasks and responsibilities and human skills are explained. As the required humans skills, set out in the post description of the positions of councillor, committee chairperson and mayor respectively, cannot be discussed individually, certain human skills are identified and selected which are required for the representative role. The selected human skills are as follows: communication, persuasion, public speaking, media handling and ward issue handling. In the fifth chapter attention is focused on the importance of communication and persuasion skills for local authority representatives. The sixth chapter concentrates on public speaking skills for local authority representatives. In the seventh chapter attention is given to handling, and to the handling of ward issues. This study concludes that a exists for a training development for councillors. Appropriate human skills must be identified, and skills topics must be included in the training and development programme.
