The R30 is a provincial route in South Africa that connects Bloemfontein with Rustenburg via Brandfort, Welkom, Bothaville, Klerksdorp and Ventersdorp. The southern part of the route is tolled, as the R30 forms the first section of the ZR Mahabane Toll Route, with the Brandfort Toll Plaza found 10 kilometres north of its Southern junction with the N1 National Route. The tolled portion ends at the junction with the R730. (The R730 takes over the Toll Road status and the R30 is toll-free for its remainder) Route Free State The R30 Road begins 16 kilometres north of Bloemfontein Central, as an off-ramp of the N1 Highway (northbound only). It begins as the ZR Mahabane Toll Highway and heads north-north-east for 35 kilometres, crossing the Modder River, to the town of Winnie Mandela (formerly Brandfort; renamed in 2021). As this first section is operated by SANRAL, there is a Toll Plaza 10 kilometres from the N1 Bloemfontein interchange (25 kilometres before Winnie Mandela), at the point where the R30 exits the Mangaung Metropolitan Municipality (just north of the settlement named Glen), named the Brandfort Toll Plaza. At Winnie Mandela, the R30 passes through in a northeasterly direction as the main road, passing through Page Park and Brandfort Central and meeting the R703 Route. The R30 continues north-north-east for 38 kilometres, crossing the Vet River into the town of Theunissen, where it bypasses the Lusaka and Masilo suburbs before passing by the town centre and meeting the R708 Route. From Theunissen, the R30 continues northwards for 21 kilometres, becoming a single carriageway with 2 lanes in each direction, to reach a junction with the R730, which marks the end of the R30 being a national toll road (the ZR Mahabane Highway maintained by SANRAL continues from this junction as the R730) (The carriageway becomes the R730 north-eastwards and the R30 continues by taking the northwards off-ramp on the left). From the R730 junction, the R30 continues northwards for 28 kilometres, crossing the Sand River and bypassing the Welkom Airport, to reach a 4-way-junction, where it meets the western terminus of the R73 Route (which heads east into the Welkom Town Centre) and the north-eastern terminus of the R710. From the Welkom junction, the R30 continues northwards for 10 kilometres to reach an intersection with the R34 Road from Hoopstad. They become one road northwards for 1 kilometre as they enter the town
