Misson
To bridge the gap of opulence between 2-ply and 1-ply toilet paper.
We’ll achieve this by using both virgin and recycled paper. La-Pempa will also boost hygiene and bring comfort to communities through this affordable, quality toilet paper that will also be easily accessible. Professionalism, integrity and accountability will drive this process.
Story
Established in 2014, La-Pempa Multipurpose Co-operative, is thrilled by the prospect of injecting new energy into the Northern Cape!
Kimberley with its rich history of diamond mining and other minerals, lacks manufacturers who produce simple, accessible products for the local communities. La-Pempa Multipurpose Co-operative, a 100% black female-owned toilet paper manufacturer, is excited about being the first to respond to this glaring need
in Kimberley’s business landscape.
By doing so, we hope to contribute significantly to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of our country, as well as to create much-needed jobs in the Northern Cape. In the production of our toilet paper, we’ve taken great care to link quality and choice materials, with dedicated craftsmanship.

Soft virgin paper that doesn’t cause any skin reaction, in fact it pampers the skin.
