Corrupt female embroiling for instance African politicians in official's criminality (11)
I believe the answer is:
malfeasance
'criminality' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'corrupt female embroiling for instance african politicians in official's' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'female' could be 'f' (abbreviation) and 'f' is located in the answer.
'african politicians' could be 'anc' (African National Congress, South African party) and 'anc' is located in the answer.
'for instance' could be 'as' and 'as' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for malfeasance that I've seen before include "wrongful act" , "illegal act" , "Wrongdoing" , "crime" .)
