Managed a lot of money in S. Africa (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rand

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

'money in s africa' is the definition.
'rand' can be an answer for 'money' (currency of South Africa). I am unsure of the 'in s africa' bit.

'managed a lot' is the wordplay.
'managed' becomes 'ran' (both can mean organised or was in charge of).
'a lot' becomes 'd'.
'ran'+'d'='RAND'

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rand that I've seen before include "our 1/4 Across [GOLD MEDALLIST] in 1964" , "Foreign currency" , "South African money" , "South African currency unit" , "Overseas money" .)
