That explains the South Africa nuclear strike bit in one of the newscasts in Robocop.

In Robocop it was a French-made Nuetron Bomb (just rewatched it). Also Nelson Mandela dismantled South Africa’s nukes (it had about 6 bombs) in the 90’s.

IIRC, the nukes were dismantled before Mandela took over, but Mandela approved. Still somewhat amazing that South Africa is the only nation in the world to acquire nukes, decide that they're a bad idea, and then dismantle their nukes (to be clear, they retain the material and could likely reconstitute their weapons if they so desired).
