Looks like weapons and weapons program?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Africa_and_weapons_of_mass_destruction...
South Africa ended its nuclear weapons programme in 1989. All the bombs (six constructed and one under construction) were dismantled and South Africa acceded to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_on_the_Non-Proliferation_of_Nuclear_Weapons when South African Ambassador to the United States Harry Schwarz https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Schwarz signed the treaty in 1991. On 19 August 1994, after completing its inspection, the International Atomic Energy Agency https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Atomic_Energy_Agency (IAEA) confirmed that one partially completed and six fully completed nuclear weapons had been dismantled. As a result, the IAEA was satisfied that South Africa's nuclear programme had been converted to peaceful applications. Following this, South Africa joined the Nuclear Suppliers Group https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_Suppliers_Group (NSG) as a full member on 5 April 1995. South Africa played a leading role in the establishment of the African Nuclear Weapon Free Zone Treaty https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_Nuclear_Weapon_Free_Zone_Treaty(also referred to as the Treaty of Pelindaba) in 1996, becoming one of the first members in 1997. South Africa also signed theComprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comprehensive_Nuclear-Test-Ban_Treaty in 1996 and ratified https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratification it in 1999.

Hmm, I went back and looked at the original sources for the citation. Maybe worth a closer read to the article and citations. I could have missed it!
