I will be travelling in a sedan from Middelburg, Mpumalanga to Phalaborwa Gate early October. Which route is best in terms of safety and road conditions. Any recommendations will be much appreciated.

Tollie this is not a route I am familiar with but I do often use and advise this site

Road distance calculator

There has been a recent post in the topic we have for Driving route to/from Kruger Gates

where someone has advised a route to Phalaborwa gate. not from Middleburg but might help.

Here

Otherwise I'm sure someone will be able to offer some further advise and info.

Thanks for all the info Elsa! I have been travelling from Middelburg to Lydenburg via Belfast / Dullstroom regularly the past 30 years and the potholes between Dullstroom to Lydenburg is the worst that it has ever been. I would like to know the condition of the R36 road from Lydenburg to Phalaborwa.
