AB  - Pregnant women who have anaemia are more likely to experience preterm birth, low&#xd;
birth weight, perinatal and n eonatal mortality, which is one of the major public health&#xd;
issues. In the South African province of Mpumalanga, in the Matibidi Village of the&#xd;
Ehlanzeni District , the study&amp;apos;s goal was to explore and identify risk factors for anaemia&#xd;
in pregnancy. It was do ne using a qualitative approach that combined descriptive and&#xd;
exploratory designs. The population consisted of pregnant women of age 18 years&#xd;
years and above. A Non probability purposive sampling method was used because&#xd;
the participants were aware of the risks associated with pregnancy. Immediately after&#xd;
receiving permission from the U niversity of Venda Research Ethics C ommittee&#xd;
( UVREC), the researcher sought permission to access the villages from the Ch ief and&#xd;
Ward Councillor of Matibiti Village . I n depth one to one interview s were conducted&#xd;
using a semi structured approach . D ata saturation was reached at participant number&#xd;
16, however, the researcher continued to interview a total of 20 participants. Fo ur&#xd;
criteria , dependability, conf i rmability, transferability, and credibility were used&#xd;
to ensure trustworthiness. Te s ch&amp;apos;s six steps were applied to analyze the qualitative&#xd;
data . The findings showed that various factors in Matibiti Village contribut e to anaemia&#xd;
in pregnant women. These included the socio economic status, pre existing maternal&#xd;
chronic conditions, and religious and traditional beliefs and cultural practices of the&#xd;
participants R ecommendations were made based on the study&amp;apos;s findings.&#xd;
R ecommendations included the need to start administering intravenous supplements&#xd;
like Ferramed to pregnant women who are anaemic to help improve their haemoglobin&#xd;
levels; health workers should be aware of religious and cultural practices interfering&#xd;
with a dherence to the proper pregnant health care so that they emphasi z e the ir&#xd;
urgency during health talks.&#xd;
