Looks like weapons and weapons program? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Africa_and_weapons_of_mass_destruction#Dismantling
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.
