Pelindaba Nuclear Center was where South Africa's nuclear weapons were developed, produced, and stored. What if it had been attacked by aircraft from Cuba, Angola, or the Soviet Union during the Border War period with Angola?

Fuck, I saw that title and thought that it had been! I didn't see the 'WI'.
Shortly after midnight on 8 November 2007, four armed men entered the facility and headed towards a control room in the eastern block.[4] According to the South African Nuclear Energy Corporation (NECSA), the state-owned entity that runs the facility, the four "technically sophisticated criminals" deactivated several layers of security, including a 10,000-volt electrical fence, suggesting insider knowledge of the system. An off-duty emergency services officer, who was shot by the men after a brief struggle, triggered an alarm, alerting a nearby police station. The four attackers escaped the facility by the same way they had entered after 45 minutes alone in the compound. Though their images were captured on closed-circuit television, they were not detected by security officers because nobody was monitoring the cameras at the time. On 16 November, three suspects, between the ages of 17 and 28, were arrested by local police in connection with the incident but were later released. In response to the attack, NECSA suspended six Pelindaba security personnel, including the general manager of security and promised an "internal investigation which will cover culpability, negligence and improvements of Security Systems."
