South African statesman (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mandela

(Other definitions for mandela that I've seen before include "Former president of South Africa" , "Nelson . . . . . . ., great African statesman (7)" , "Could be Nelson" , "Nelson --, South African politician" , "Nelson --, South African statesman" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun, The Telegraph, the Newsday.com and the Canadiana.
