Khâi-Ma is an administrative area in the Namakwa District of Northern Cape in South Africa. Khai-Ma is a Khoi word meaning "to stand up".
The 2011 census divided the municipality into the following main places:
The municipal council consists of seven members elected by mixed-member proportional representation. Four councillors are elected by first-past-the-post voting in four wards, while the remaining three are chosen from party lists so that the total number of party representatives is proportional to the number of votes received. In the election of 18 May 2011 the African National Congress (ANC) won a majority of four seats on the council. The following table shows the results of the election.
