Hesitate near African capital with small mission (6)
I believe the answer is:
errand
'small mission' is the definition.
'errand' can be an answer for 'mission' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'small' bit.
'hesitate near african capital with' is the wordplay.
'hesitate' becomes 'er'.
'near african capital' becomes 'r' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'with' becomes 'and' (I've seen this before).
'er'+'r'+'and'='ERRAND'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for errand that I've seen before include "Commission, task" , "Short journey to get or bring" , "Short trip for a message" , "Mission (often run)" , "Short trip with a mission" .)
