Speaking at a conference in New York, United Nations secretary general António Guterres said humanity faces “a nuclear danger not seen since the height of the Cold War”.
South Africa is one of the few countries in the world to create and then denounce nuclear weapons, and it had great deal to do with the transition to democracy.
On July 16, 1945, at 5:29AM, the first-ever nuclear weapon test was conducted near Socorro, New Mexico.
