Route
The M43 route begins at a junction with the M42 route (Ruth First Road) adjacent to Soshanguve Crossing Mall. It heads north through Soshanguve Central as Aubrey Matlala Street, bypassing the Tshwane University of Technology Soshanguve Campus, to reach a junction with the M39 route (Commissioner Street).[5]
The M43 joins the M39 and they are one road westwards for 1 kilometre before the M43 becomes its own road northwards. It heads northwards through Soshanguve North for 4.7 kilometres, meeting the M44 route, to reach its end at a junction with the M21 route (Molefe Makinta Highway).[5]
