Time in South Africa - new different form of South Africa - marked in verse (6)
I believe the answer is:
stanza
'marked in verse' is the definition.
'stanza' can be an answer for 'verse' (a stanza is a verse of a poem). I am not sure about the 'marked in' bit.
'time in south africa new different form of south africa' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'south africa' becomes 'SA' (abbreviation).
'new different form of' becomes 'n' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'south africa' becomes 'za' (abbreviation for Zuid-Afrika).
't' put into 'sa' is 'sta'.
'sta'+'n'+'za'='STANZA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stanza that I've seen before include "Part of a poem" , "Unit of a poem" , "piece by poet" , "Component of poem" , "piece of poetry" .)
