Mmadinare Senior Secondary School owes the corporation P1.3 million as a bill running from October last year to date while Selebi-Phikwe Senior Secondary School (SPSSS) owes P1.2 million from August last year. Merementsi Secondary School owed P200,000 but has since been reconnected after it was realised that the school had omitted only one month bill.
