Source: Author (2021).

The existing grave is strategically and deliberately positioned at the centre of the monument axis. Relocating the existing from the privileged position and complementing it with another Cenotaph breaks the order or language of centrality. The 16 December midday sunray of blessings then has no target. Figure 3.27 proposes how to redirect the sunrays to both Cenotaphs.

Consideration B (implication)

As discussed, the proposal to complement the existing Cenotaph with another and then shift them both away from the central position affects the target for the sunray’s illumination on16 December at noon.

Therefore, introducing a beam splitter in the Hall of the Altar splits the light and directs it to both Cenotaphs (Figure 3.27). This split may then symbolise God’s blessings on all the people who sacrificed for South Africa.
