Bovine creature reportedly off, ultimately to Zimbabwean city (8)
I believe the answer is:
bulawayo
'city' is the definition.
(second largest city in Zimbabwe)
'bovine creature reportedly off ultimately to zimbabwean' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'off' could be 'away' (synonyms) and 'away' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bulawayo that I've seen before include "African city" , "Industrial city of Zimbabwe" .)
