The R69 begins in Vryheid (south of the town centre), at a junction with the R34 route next to the White Umfolozi Dam. It heads north-east before turning east to become Suid Street in the eastern suburbs of Vryheid. It heads east-north-east for 56 kilometres to reach the town of Louwsburg, where it passes south of the town centre. It continues eastwards for another 48 kilometres to reach a junction with the R66 route near a place named Magudu (22 kilometres south of Pongola). The R69 joins the R66 northwards for 3 kilometres before becoming its own road eastwards. The R69 heads north-east for 31 kilometres to reach its end at a junction with the N2 national route west of the Pongolapoort Dam (north of Mkuze). [1]
