South Africa didn't 'denuclearise' in the sense of giving up arms.

They had a change to a completely incompetent government who wouldn't know how to spell 'nuclear' let alone fathom the scientific research and economic and political strategy required to run such a program.

And given that nuclear scientists and competent political strategists tend to be smart, they don't hang around in swamps very long.
