City university getting road repaired in SA country (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ecuador

'sa country' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'city university getting road repaired' is the wordplay.
'city' becomes 'ec' (the City of London postcode).
'university' becomes 'u'.
'getting' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'repaired' indicates an anagram.
'road' anagrammed gives 'ador'.
'ec'+'u'+'ador'='ECUADOR'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ecuador that I've seen before include "The state capital is Quito" , "South American republic" , "Country of the Galapagos Islands" , "Is Cora due out in South America?" , "Where panama hats are made" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
