There’s no accusation that Triece mistreated or otherwise engaged in inappropriate behavior that could put kids in danger. Despite volunteering at her children's school for five years, Triece has been told she is no longer welcome.
Nationwide protests have taken place since October 7 despite the disbanding of the controversial Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) police unit.

Rights groups say at least 15 people have been killed the demonstrations began in early October.
When the COVID-19 pandemic forced Alabama schools to close their traditional classrooms in March, Corey Jones said it hit his students in rural Greene County doubly hard.
“We’re one of the poorest school districts in the state, and most of our students don’t have computers or access to the internet,” said Jones, Greene County School System superintendent.
But thanks to the Alabama Power Foundation, Greene County students will soon have the technology they need to navigate their new virtual classroom.
The foundation provided a grant to the Greene County School System to help pay for Chrome books for 600 students in grades K-12.
Jones said some students will begin using their new Chrome books immediately during summer school.
READ | Sex workers call on Ramaphosa to include them in plan to aid workers during lockdown
Lydia hails from Welkom in the Free State and has been working as a sex worker for the past 15 years.
However, she added that since the implementation of the lockdown, sex workers have been unable to work all night.
Rebecca, from Lesotho, said she became a sex worker last year, after losing her job as a domestic worker.
Sex Worker Education and Advocacy Taskforce (Sweat) spokesperson Katlego Rasebitse said sex workers had been affected by the lockdown.
Rasebitse said sex workers were also entitled to receive social relief, including food parcels, from the government.

As the 2013 presidential election approached, many feared a repeat of the deadly violence that plagued the disputed 2007 race and left about 1,300 dead. Those fears did not play out in the tight race between top contenders Prime Minister Odinga and Uhuru Kenyatta, the richest man in the country and the son of Kenyas first president. In the March election, Kenyatta won 50.07% of the vote to Odingas 43.7%, narrowly enough to avoid a runoff. Kenyatta and his deputy president, William Ruto, were two of four men charged by the International Criminal Court in 2012 with crimes against humanity for their roles in the violence that erupted after the 2007 elections.
In Dec. 2013, the International Criminal Court case against President Uhuru Kenyatta experienced a severe blow when the prosecution revealed that they had lost two key witnesses. One witness had given false evidence and another was no longer willing to testify. Fatou Bensouda, the prosecutor, said that she needed more time to prepare new evidence. After months of delays, Kenyatta appeared in court in early October 2014 when judges held hearings on how to proceed with the case. Kenyatta is accused of obstructing the ICCs investigation into the violence. He is the first sitting head of state to be brought before the International Criminal Court in The Hague. The ICC dropped the charges against Kenyatta in December 2014, citing a lack of evidence. Bensouda accused the government of obstructing the investigation. The trial of Vice President William Ruto will continue.
A Black Texas high school principal is speaking up after he said he has been wrongfully accused by parents of perpetuating racism when in fact, he says he's the one who has been a victim of bigotry. Colleyville Heritage High School Principal James Whitfield said some parents have accused him of teaching critical race theory and teaching students that white people are inherently racist, NBC 5 reported . Whitfield and the Grapevine-Colleyville Independent School District have both denied the allegations. In 2019, while he was a principal at Colleyville Heritage Middle School, a parent complained to the school district about an image of Whitfield and his wife about to kiss on his personal Facebook page. His supervisor contacted him and told him to check the internet, where he saw the photo reposted. \"I look at the picture, and I look at the words above it, and it says, 'Is this the Dr. Whitfield we want leading our schools?' I showed it to my wife, who immediately begins to well up...
