Revered African, saving time, runs a trip in Africa? (3,6)
I believe the answer is:
ras tafari
'revered african' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'saving time runs a trip in africa?' is the wordplay.
'saving' indicates putting letters inside.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'runs' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'trip in africa?' becomes 'safari' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'r'+'a'+'safari'='rasafari'
't' going into 'rasafari' is 'RAS TAFARI'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ras tafari that I've seen before include "Royal once" , "Movement whose followers worship an Ethiopian emperor" , "opposed to Babylon?" .)
