#1 The South Africans weren't looking to buy, they were looking to build their own. Which they did, with some Israeli help. I agree with Steve's take on it.

#2 A little history here : the uranium that Britain used to make their first bomb came from South Africa; half of the top British bomb scientists were South African; those scientists all went back home to South Africa at the end of the initial British bomb effort.
Also, the South Africans dismantled and destroyed their entire nuke arsenal, and related equipment, in 1993, just before the Afrikaners handed over the country to the ANC.

#5 oops, forgot to mention the choppers Israel sold us, more than half were no good, cannabalised. As allies, they sucked, good for getting their own out. Their lack of interest, along with their bullsh4t masters in the USA have pheucked Africa. And now it's irrelevant, the Chi-Coms are getting their booty.
