South Africa built at least 6 deliverable nuclear weapons (bombing airplanes). If it was tested, no one knows. There were suggestions that SA tested in 1979 (Vela incident). For what it is worth, South Africa had a fairly good rocket development. The Israeli Jericho rocket was actually a joint Israeli-South African project (the Jericho missiles were tested in SA btw). The RSA rockets would have been able to carry South African nuclear warheads. This (and the whole company Houteq) got dismantled in 1990 though. South Africa had a different strategy with its nuclear weapons though. Its main purpose of its program was to force the USA to act if the RSA was threatened by the USSR.
