It was found that the Belmont House name that had once been engraved in the sandstone capstone on top of the piers that stood on either side of the entrance gate to the property had been sanded smooth. This same area has been painted white with the words “Hani” and “House” written on each pier in blue paint. It was evident that someone had started to remove this new name as the “Hani” name had already received at least once coat of white paint over the top of it. It would require numerous layers of paint to cover up the name so that it would not shine through the white top coats. The plague sporting the name “Chris Hani House” in yellow copper letters was still in place on the lower balcony rails of the house. This is visible from the road, but this item is something that is easy to remove as it has only just been screwed on the balustrade and is therefore reversible. One other concern of the Simon's Town Heritage Society was the unsightly palisade fence that was erected years before hand. This unfortunately is something that can’t be asked to be removed as it does not affect any structure that is older than 60 years. It has been set behind the stone retaining walls.
