There are now canon details that can be greatly expanded
The South Africans were attacked by two nuclear strikes by the Soviets in 1997
The South Africans struck back using their limited nuclear capacity against the Soviets and their Allies a few days later
They still have a few nuclear bombs and the US is helping them produce more bombs in return for some military equipment and supplies for AFRICOM
They are US allies against the Soviets but also are staying on friendly terms with the French as well
The South Africans ended apartheid and have given the blacks equal power with them in the government but not one man one vote - meaning its more like a divided government between the two groups
The South Africans invaded and took over choice areas in Zimbabwe and Namibia as part of ending the Great war and are still occupying those areas
The South Africans drove the Cubans out of Angola in 2000 along with UNITA (canon event mentioned in Gateway to the Spanish Main)

I wonder did South Africa in the Twilight 2000 verse ever develop the
TTD or Tank Technology Demonstrator prototype main battle tank into a full production model ore it only has the Olifant Mk.1B main battle tank in service.
Also another question would be where until the start of the war sanctions still in place against South Africa.
