Former name of Zimbabwe (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rhodesia

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">former name of zimbabwe</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for rhodesia that I've seen before include "former republic" , "place once overseen by Smith" , "Previous name of Zimbabwe" , "Former British colonial territory in Africa, now Zambia and Zimbabwe" , "country that declared independence" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Guardian.
