Former African state (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rhodesia

(Other definitions for rhodesia that I've seen before include "Former African country" , "What became Zimbabwe" , "Name of old Commonwealth country" , "country that declared independence" , "Previous name of Zimbabwe" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
