    First, she cried for her husband. Because her husband couldn't even go to the award for his own work just because he was a black.

    Second, she was moved by Van Rensburg's action. It is so valued that a white man could invite a black man to have a drink and talk a lot. And he appreciated a black's sculpture.

    Finally, she cried for this country, few white man couldn't change the discrimination, let alone eliminate it. She felt a sense of powerlessness and didn't know what to do but to cry.

    1. The apartheid policy had persecuted them for so long,and it was almost the first time that they had been understood  and cared by white people. The wife cried out of emotions.

    2. The apartheid policy was like an invisible wall deeply rooted in their hearts,hindering free communication and full understanding between blacks and whites. The wife cried for their inability to change the harsh reality.

    3.  The wife cried for her husband's unfortunate experience, for he was unable to attend the award ceremony just because he was a black. The cold and inhumane polices expose black people to unfair and discriminated situation.

    1. I think the wife, who has long been regarded as a lower class person, was surprised and delighted to hear about her husband's experience, but was saddened by the racial discrimination revealed in every move of the white man.
    2. The wife, like everyone else, has been subjected to more or less racial discrimination in her life, and she wants to break down this barrier, but she can't help it, so she breaks down in tears.

    First of all, I think she's fighting for her husband because it feels unfair that society discriminates against black people.
     Secondly. I think he was crying because a white man was not mocking them because of their race, but was friendly to them.The wife also cried for the early elimination of racial discrimination in th society.

    On the one hand, I think it was because the wife felt that she was not so excluded as a black person, and it was also a relief that white people were willing to get close to her. On the other hand, she felt that although she wanted to get close to van rensburg before, there was still a deep gap between her husband and Van Rensburg, and she felt regret that her husband could not accept the prize.

    I think the wife is weeping because of her husband. The wife was moved by the fact that her husband was being treated with respect and hospitality by white people for the first time, and she felt relieved that black people could be appreciated and treated equally by white people.

    Because she felt the friendliness and kindness from a white man, and felt the desire of a white person to understand the black as an individual. At the same time, however, she was also distressed by the reality that blacks and whites could not touch each other further, despaired of the differences between races, and grieved by a series of policies such as Apartheid in their beautiful land. Even if white people try their best to show kindness, empathy, gentleness, friendliness and other feelings to black people, under the influence of cruel unjust policies and racism, everything will appear cold, impersonal and inhumane.

    First, she wept for her husband, who was so educated and talented that he couldn't accept an award for his sculpture. Second, she cried about the apartheid system in this country. Simenella met Rensburg on the street. He invited Simenella to have a drink and talk with him, but because of apartheid, blacks and whites were separated and they could not have a deep soul contact. Third, she wept for Rensburg, who, unlike other whites, did not discriminate against blacks, and her wife was moved by that.

    His wife wept for all of the above. First, she cried for her husband, who, despite being a well-educated sculptor with a successful career, was not respected because of his black skin. Second, she cried that her husband had made a new friend, a white friend, because the white friend could associate with black people regardless of local laws, and the couple was happy. In the end, she wept for a country full of injustice to black people, but they can not break the conventional rules for themselves.

    1. She was aggrieved at the injustice of her husband's treatment. Simelane won the prize but couldn't get it.

    2. Moved by what her husband says about the behavior of white people. They did not discriminate against her husband for being black and praised her husband's work.

    As far as I guess, Simelane's wife cried eventually due to her touch of their inability to communicate and understand with each other. What's more, apartheid law was so curel that it oppressed thousands of hundreds of people for both sides. Having realized this circumstance, they were at pains and unable to do something beneficial. Maybe it's also a reason why his wife wept in the end. To sum up, his wife,Simelane and others were trapped into a severe dilemma with great sorrow.

    She wept for all of this, and after listening to her husband's account, she felt worried about his experience that night (if he was found drinking or unable to leave before 11 o'clock), moved by Van Rensburg's behavior towards her husband and even black people, and worried about the country's racial segregation system.

    Simelane's wife may cry over the burdens her husband carries, the struggles he faces, and the racism he endures. Her tears may have been an expression of sympathy and concern for him.
    Simerlane's wife may also cry for Van Lensberg, as she is aware of his inner conflict and moral struggle. Despite being a representative of the oppressive system, Van Lensberg presents moments of vulnerability and conflict in the narrative. Her tears may have expressed sadness over the dehumanizing effects of apartheid on blacks and whites, highlighting the shared pain caused by the system of oppression. Her crying may also symbolize a broader mourning for South Africa under apartheid. Simelane's encounter with Van Lensberg is a microcosm of the systemic racism and injustice that prevailed in South Africa of that era. As a result, she may also shed tears for the collective suffering, inequality and discrimination faced by individuals across the country.

    Crying for her husband, obviously he is highly educated and won the first prize in the competition, but because of racial discrimination, he could only say that he is ill and did not accept the prize, feeling unfair for her husband.

    Crying for Van Rensburg, she cried that he had not been able to fulfill his dreams. At the same time, as a white man, he was able to treat his husband equally, and she was touched by this.

    Crying for their country, the land is beautiful, but it breaks her heart. The racial discrimination practiced by the state makes them live at the bottom of the society, their life and work are restricted everywhere. Even if there were white people like van Rensburg who would treat them equally, they were only a minority and could not change the whole country, so she felt sad for this unfair system.

    She wept for her husband. Simelane won the competition meant for the whites only. But Simelane had to be absent from the ceremony because he was a black man. She was touched that some whites did not discriminate against blacks and were willing to lend a hand. She lamented that van Rensburg could not achieve his dream. She was disappointed and saddened by the country's application of apartheid.

    The wife wept for many reasons.

    The first reason is their suffering from the unfaired treatment as black people.

    The second reason is that her husband cannot attend the pubilc ceremony to get the award though the sculpture African Mother and Child touched the white people by accident.

    The third reason is that she was surprised that there existed white people like van Rensburg willing to understand black people but struggled.

    The last reason is she was sad about the country's dominant segregation policy and they were difficult to find way out.

    She felt sorry for his unfair situation. She can know kindness and empathy from the white people. However, there is a great potential for harm and misunderstanding between people of different races.

    She felt depressed about the cold, impersonal, unjust policies. For the segregation imposed by the government, they could have known each other more or probably built a sincere and strong friendship. The inhumane policies prevent people from free contact and understanding. They black people are all helpless and pitiful.

    The story between Simelane and Rensburg makes her realize that friendship is not affected by politics and country. Although she and Simelane live in a cruel and dark social environment with racial discrimination, Simelane and Rensburg share empathy, understanding and friendliness with each other,which touched her deeply, and that's why she wept in the last paragraph in text.

    I think there are two main reasons why his wife is crying. First of all, she was frustrated about the encounter between her husband and the white man, two souls who wanted to be close to each other because of the racial and institutional barriers could not understand deeply. Secondly, she thought about the national policies in the general environment, which could not be changed under the historical background of apartheid, so she felt helpless and sad.

    I think his wife cried for her country. They, as citizens of the country, did not receive the respect they deserve.

    1. Tears for herself and her husband and all the blacks. As black people, they have encountered too much injustice in this society. Their behavior is limited, their thoughts are imprisoned, their dignity is trampled. They don't have the rights they deserve.

    2. Cry for a class of whites headed by Rensburg. They had the desire to get along well with the blacks and communicate with them, but they were kept out. They are not destined to understand black people.

    Simelane's wife cried for her husband. Because they are black, they do not have equal treatment with whites, so even if the husband won the award, they can only claim illness. She cried for Rensburg, too. Rensburg is white. Even if he wanted to understand black people, he could not escape the shackles of apartheid and truly understand the situation of black people. She also cried for the country. The state enacted a policy of racial segregation, so that blacks and whites could not get along equally, and they could not understand each other, even if they wanted to know each other and did not know how to do so.
