Answer
Total distance = 221.2 km. Distance from Rustenburg to Abjaterskop Gate = 88.1 km.
Distance from Zeerust to Swartruggens = 221.2 km - 88.1 km = 133.1 km.
Step 5
4.1.5 Determine the shortest route distance from Johannesburg to Swartruggens. Show ALL calculations.

Answer
Using the route via Koster:
Distance from Johannesburg to Koster = 71.9 km
Distance from Koster to Zeerust = 35.2 km
Total distance = 71.9 km + 35.2 km = 107.1 km.
Thus, the shortest route from Johannesburg to Swartruggens is 177.1 km.
