President Jacob Zuma in Libya for talks

President Jacob Zuma faces an uphill task in trying to bring about an end to the conflict in Libya.

Political analyst Harald Pakendorf says nothing came of an earlier attempt by a delegation from the African Union because rebel forces will accept no less than Muammar Gaddafi’s removal from power.

Pakendorf says Gaddafi’s close ties to the ANC may help Zuma tackle the problem.

Libyan state television said Zuma was going to discuss the implementation of the AU roadmap for peace.
