From the 1960s to the 1990s, South Africa pursued research into weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons under the apartheid government. Six nuclear weapons were assembled. South African strategy was, if political and military instability in Southern Africa became unmanageable, to conduct a nuclear weapon test in a location such as the Kalahari desert, where an underground testing site had been prepared, to demonstrate its capability and resolve—and thereby highlight the peril of intensified conflict in the region—and then invite a larger power such as the United States to intervene.

(ko) سعت جنوب أفريقيا منذ ستينيات القرن الماضي حتى تسعينياته إلى إجراء البحوث العلمية على أسلحة الدمار الشامل، ومنها الأسلحة النووية والبيولوجية والكيميائية. وجمعت ستة أسلحة نووية. فككت حكومة جنوب أفريقيا كل أسلحتها النووية، قبل التحول المتوقع إلى حكومة بقيادة المؤتمر الوطني الأفريقي ذي الأغلبية المنتخبة في تسعينيات القرن الماضي، لتصبح بذلك أول دولة تتخلى طواعية عن أسلحتها النووية التي طورتها بنفسها.

(en) A partir dos anos 60 aos anos 80, a África do Sul procurou pesquisa sobre armas de destruição em massa, incluindo armas nucleares, biológicas e químicas. Seis armas nucleares foram montadas. Antes a transição antecipada para a maioria eleita do governo do Congresso Nacional Africano em 1990, o governo Sul-Africano desmantelou todas as suas armas nucleares, a primeira nação no mundo que voluntariamente entregou todas as armas nucleares que tinham desenvolvido. (pt) Южно-Африканская Республика с 1960 по 1980-е годы проводила исследования в области оружия массового поражения (в том числе в области ядерного, химического и биологического оружия). В 1970-е годы ЮАР начала разработку ядерного оружия в сотрудничестве с Израилем и в 1975 году соорудила шахты для испытания взрывного устройства в пустыне Калахари. Всего было собрано шесть зарядов. Основным средством доставки был избран самолёт «Канберра», также велась разработка МБР. (ru)
