Detailed Solution

The assertion is true, but the reason is false.
For black people, the apartheid system was particularly harsh in the following ways: In white neighbourhoods, black people were not allowed to reside. Only those who obtained a permit were allowed to labour in white areas. There were distinct facilities for whites and blacks on trains, buses, taxis, hotels, hospitals, schools, and colleges, as well as libraries, theatres, cinemas, and public restrooms. Black people were not permitted to attend white people's churches. As a result, they could not organise into groups or hold demonstrations against the horrific apartheid regime.
