Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi received a telephone call from South African President Jacob Zuma, Libyan state television reported.
Al Libiya gave no details of when the call took place nor what was said, Reuters reports.
Zuma headed an African Union mission to Tripoli last week, but an AU bid to halt Libya’s civil war collapsed within hours on April 11 after Gaddafi’s forces shelled a besieged city and rebels said there could be no deal unless he was toppled.
