The M79 is a short metropolitan route in Greater Johannesburg, South Africa.

[1][2] It connects Jabavu in the western part of Soweto with Nasrec via Orlando and Diepkloof.

The M79 begins at a junction with the M77 (Elias Motsoaledi Road) in the Jabavu suburb of Soweto, heading eastwards as Zulu Drive.

[3] The M79 continues eastwards, becoming Rand Show Road, to exit Soweto and form an interchange with the N1 highway (Johannesburg Western Bypass; which goes north to Roodepoort and Randburg) and the N12 highway (Johannesburg Southern Bypass; which goes eastwards to Alberton).

It continues eastwards, forming the northern boundary of the Aeroton industrial area, to end at a junction with the M5 road (Nasrec Road) just south of FNB Stadium in Nasrec.
