Kwa Sani Local Municipality was an administrative area in the Harry Gwala of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa.
Kwa Sani is an isiZulu name. "Kwa" means "at" and "Sani" means "San people". The name was chosen because it was easy to pronounce for overseas visitors to the World Heritage Site of uKhahlamba.[3]
After the municipal elections on 3 August 2016 it was merged with Ingwe Local Municipality into the new Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma Local Municipality.
