That's a really interesting alternative history concept. I'd never given much thought to the v1 Cold-War-Never-Ended timeline ramifications re South African politics. It definitely stands to reason that if Apartheid didn't end either, the SAAF would have held on to its nuclear arsenal (and used them if it perceived an existential threat, or major strategic benefit).
