Zuma visited Tripoli on April 10 as part of an African Union delegation to broker a truce between Gaddafi and his opponents, but a peace plan fell through when the rebels insisted the longtime ruler step down.
"President Zuma will stop over in Tripoli for a discussion on May 30," the South African presidency said in a statement.
Two sources in the presidency, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the talks would focus on Gaddafi's "exit strategy", the AFP news agency reported.
"The meeting is still very much in the planning stages," the source added. A second official said South Africa was working with Turkey on an exit plan for Gaddafi.
Despite attempting to broker peace in Libya, South Africa voted for a UN resolution authorising a no-fly zone over the country. But Pretoria has also since criticised NATO's bombing campaign, and said that it does not support regime change in the country
