File Under: Ruh-Roh

Via Majikthise, we find nuclear security lacking in South Africa:

A brazen attack by four gunmen on the Pelindaba nuclear facility has left a senior emergency officer seriously injured.

...

He was shot in the chest when the gunmen stormed the facility's emergency response control room in the early hours of Thursday morning.

The shooting comes four months after Necsa's newly appointed services general manager Eric Lerata, 43, was gunned down in front of his Montana home after returning from a business trip in France.

Pelindaba is regarded as one of the country's most secure national key points.

Oh, and emphasis mine. Zoinks!
