Healing one from Cape town, perhaps (8)
I believe the answer is:
sanative
'healing' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'one from cape town perhaps' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'one' could be 'an' ('a' and 'an' can mean 'one') and 'an' is present in the answer.
'from' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is present in the answer.
'town' could be 't' (abbreviation for town) and 't' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sanative that I've seen before include "Healing" , "Having the power to heal or cure" .)
