Possibly, but per a 1993 NY Times article on the program:
> Mr. de Klerk told Parliament that the program, one of the nuclear era's most closely guarded secrets, was begun in 1974 because of the apartheid Government's sense of isolation and its fear of Communist designs in the region.
Of course, that doesn't preclude internal use.
