Route

Its south-western origin is a junction with the R510 approximately 34 kilometres north of Lephalale (40 kilometres east of the Stockpoort border with Botswana). It heads north-east, starting by crossing the Mokolo River before crossing the N11 at Tom Burke (just south-east of Grobler's Bridge). It continues north-east passing through Swartwater, after which it heads east and crosses the R561 at Maasstroom. It crosses the Mogalakwena River and reaches Alldays, where it meets the R521 and joins it to be co-signed north for approximately 46 kilometres. At a junction just before the Pontdrif border with Botswana, the R572 splits from the R521 to become its own road eastwards, forming the southern boundary of Mapungubwe National Park. It heads eastwards to end in the northern part of Musina (12 kilometres south of Beitbridge) at an interchange with the N1.
