Wondering if I could plug into the brains trust here.

What is the safest route through to Punda Maria from Randburg?
Initial thoughts were through Polokwane (Pietersburg) and then head east on either R81 or go through Louis Trichardt and take R524.

Been a long time since I have done these roads and don't know the current conditions.

Is there a better route that you know of to get to Punda or are these roads OK.

Appreciate any help.
