From the FNB Stadium, the M70 continues westwards as the Soweto Highway to meet the N1 highway (Johannesburg Western Bypass; southbound only) and cross it to enter the northern part of Soweto.[4]:127 It forms the northern border of Diepkloof (where it meets the northern terminus of the M83 route) before being the road separating Noordgesig in the north from Orlando East in the south, where it reaches a junction with the M10 route (New Canada Road).[4]:105 The M10 joins the M70 and they are one road westwards, crossing a railway into Orlando West, to reach a roundabout, where the M10 becomes the road southwards (Klipspruit Valley Road) and the road northwards is meant to be an extension of the N17 national route while the M70 remains as the westerly road.[4]:104

From the M10/N17 junction, the M70 continues westwards, forming the northern border of Orlando West, becoming Modise street (no-longer named Soweto Highway), to pass through Meadowlands, where it changes its name to Van Onselen Road.[4]:103 Immediately after Meadowlands, it reaches its western terminus at a junction with the M77 route (Elias Motsoaledi Road) at Mmesi Park, just north of Dobsonville.[4]:102
