Ground is wet in a country in Africa (8)
I believe the answer is:
eswatini
'country in africa' is the definition.
(country previously called Swaziland)
'ground is wet in a' is the wordplay.
'ground' indicates anagramming the letters ('grind' the letters into a new form).
'is'+'wet'+'in'+'a'='iswetina'
'iswetina' anagrammed gives 'ESWATINI'.
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
