Ok, apologies, I was not aware of that. So we add South Africa to the list of nuke countries ? did they sign NPT ?

They signed the NPT only after giving up their program. They are the only country to have developed nuclear weapons, then give them up. IMO, that had to do with the fact that the white government developed them, and didn't particularly want the majority black government to have them. Just my WAG.

See this link for a short description of S Africa as well as their Israeli links on nuclear weapons.

South Africa is a success of non-proliferation. They developed nuclear weapons, but then renounced them, partially as a result of international sanctions. A model for how to deal with Iran.
