African wizard's equipment managed to go round (7)

I believe the answer is:

rwandan

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'african' is the definition.
(Rwanda is an African country)

'wizard's equipment managed to go round' is the wordplay.
'wizard's equipment' becomes 'wand' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'managed' becomes 'ran' (I've seen this in another clue).
'to go round' is an insertion indicator.
'wand' going within 'ran' is 'RWANDAN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rwandan that I've seen before include "From a central African country" , "African native" , "African chap" , "Kigali native, perhaps" , "Eg, a native of Kigali" .)
