A book claims that SA’s Nuclear weapons programme has continued since 1993

Peter Houman and Steve McQuillan's book " Mini-Nuke Conspiracy: Mandela's Nuclear Nightmare " claimed that South Africa did not destroy all its nuclear weapons in 1993, as it was initially claimed by the then State President F. W. de Klerk , and that the nuclear weapons programme had been far more sophisticated than de Klerk had admitted. The book claimed that 24 nuclear devices had been manufactured, rather than six, some of which could have fallen into the hands of right-wing extremists, while others had been moved to Israel before the 1994 general election. President Nelson Mandela differed with the book insisting that there was no reason to believe that South Africa's nuclear programme had continued beyond 1993. He said those connected to the programme had assured the African National Congress (ANC), everything had been discontinued and dismantled. Mandela added that South Africa no longer had the capacity to manufacture weapons of mass destruction.
