Continuing north-east it reaches Pofadder after some 230 kilometres. Here it meets the N14 at a staggered junction. Leaving the town, it heads north to its terminus at Velloorsdrif Border Post at Onseepkans. Heading north into Namibia, the route continues as the C10.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Pofadder, South Africa</span> Place in Northern Cape, South Africa

Pofadder is a minuscule town in the Northern Cape province of South Africa. In spite of its small size, it is an important local centre in the region known in South Africa as Bushmanland. The surrounding districts are arid, sparsely populated, rugged and picturesque. There is little in the way of cropping and local farmers run sheep or goats for a living. As a tourist destination, it is not sufficiently spectacular to rival the spring flowers of the coastal regions of Namaqualand, but it has its attractions for biologists and conservationists and those with an interest in its remarkable diversity of often-tiny xerophytes and animal life. In recent years, the town economy has been booted by the construction and operation of solar power stations.
