Advice from youngster in uniform about African party (8)
I believe the answer is:
guidance
'advice' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'youngster in uniform about african party' is the wordplay.
'youngster in uniform' becomes 'guide' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'african party' becomes 'anc' (African National Congress, South African party).
'guide' enclosing 'anc' is 'GUIDANCE'.
'from' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for guidance that I've seen before include "Help in choice of action" , "Advice, assistance" , "Leadership, direction" , "Help, advice or counselling" , "Direction or advice" .)
