Social Responsibility Programme

I was thinking last night in class as my lecturer was lecturing us in the topic of a Social Responsibility Programme whether all business people in our country  understand the concept of CSR.I also asked myself a question as to whether it will be wise for government to make it law that all companies listed in the Johannesburg Stock Exchange to put aside in their annual budget a certain amount or a certain percentage for the development of our communities.In some other countries it is compulsory that companies should have a Social Responsibility Programme.These countries are so successful such that , the literacy rate , poverty and other forms of social disadvantages are not that high as compared to our country.If it can be made compulsory that every company pays such an amount , government will have to take the lead in ensuring that , they commit themselves to it
