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!

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.
