Somewhere in Africa, Anglican causes ill-will (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

malice

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'ill-will' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'somewhere in africa anglican' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'anglican' could be 'ce' (Church of England) and 'ce' is found in the answer.
'in africa' could be 'mali' ('Mali' is part of 'africa') and 'mali' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'causes' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for malice that I've seen before include "Spite, venom" , "Spite and rancour" , "Spite or spleen, perhaps aforethought" , "Hate" , "Spite - desire to hurt" .)
