I simply comply with the instructions given to me.” So said Malusi Gigaba, South Africa’s new finance minister, after Jacob Zuma, the country’s president, appointed him to the job last month after firing Pravin Gordhan. “我不会问问题。我只服从命令，”南非新任财政部长马卢西·吉加巴(Malusi Gigaba)是这么说的。前一阵子，南非总统雅各布?祖马(Jacob Zuma)在炒掉普拉温?戈登(Pravin Gordhan)后，任命他接任财长。 Far from obeying Mr Zuma’s instructions, Mr Gordhan had asked questions, persistently, about corruption and what he saw as inappropriate government spending.

They pushed back. Barclays’ compliance department had classified the letters as whistleblowing and told Mr Staley that any attempt to track down the writer was not allowed. 相比之下，当巴克莱(Barclays)首席执行官杰斯·斯特利(Jes Staley)命令员工追查是谁寄出了两封批评一位新聘员工的信件时，他们没有积极执行他的命令。他们进行了抵制。巴克莱合规部门此前已把这些信件列为举报，并告诉斯特利，追查写信者的任何企图都是受到禁止的。 When Mr Staley tried a second time to find the letter wri
