Hard to follow African politicians or TV presenter (6)
I believe the answer is:
anchor
'tv presenter' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'hard to follow african politicians or' is the wordplay.
'hard' becomes 'h' (abbreviation used in pencil classifications).
'to follow' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'african politicians' becomes 'anc' (African National Congress, South African party).
'h' put after 'anc' is 'anch'.
'anch'+'or'='ANCHOR'
(Other definitions for anchor that I've seen before include "Set fast" , "TV journalist" , "Device to hold a ship in place" , "It holds the ship in place" , "Holding device for ship" .)
