The statement is False, as apartheid was implemented in South Africa by the ruling white minority to maintain control over the black majority population, not because black people were a minority. During this period, black South Africans were indeed the majority, while the white minority enforced discriminatory laws to preserve their power. Thus, the cause of apartheid was rooted in the desire of a minority to dominate the majority, not the other way around.
