Country formerly called Rhodesia (8)

I believe the answer is:

zimbabwe

(Other definitions for zimbabwe that I've seen before include "It used to be called Rhodesia" , "African republic" , "It's capital is Harare" , "Formerly Southern Rhodesia" , "Country bordering South Africa" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
