The nation had a system of government supported racism which was the subject of international protest.

Full article: South Africa/Nuclear weapons

In 1975 Israel offered to sell nuclear weapons to South Africa.[5] After decades of work, South Africa developed nuclear weapons in the 1980s, only for the apartheid government to ship them abroad to US and UK in a secret deal in 1989 to prevent their use by the incoming administration of Nelson Mandela.
