Gaddafi reportedly accepts peace plan in Libya, South Africa says
 
Gaddafi's delegation had accepted the African Union's proposals, which would be set out in a statement later, Zuma added.

The terms of the African Union's road map were unclear - such as whether it would require Gadhafi to pull his troops out of cities as rebels have demanded.

"We have completed our mission with the brother leader, and the brother leader's delegation has accepted the road map as presented by us," Zuma said.

"We will be proceeding tomorrow to meet the other party to talk to everybody and present a political solution," Zuma said. He called on NATO to end airstrikes to "give the cease-fire a chance."
