Kind and good in part of Africa (6)
I believe the answer is:
benign
'kind' is the definition.
('benign' is associated in meaning with 'kind')
'good in part of africa' is the wordplay.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'part of africa' becomes 'benin' ('Benin' is part of 'africa').
'g' going within 'benin' is 'BENIGN'.
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for benign that I've seen before include "Obliging" , "Liberal" , "Mild and gentle, not malignant" , "Kindly or not malignant" , "Innocuous, not malignant" .)
