ANC deputy president Jacob Zuma is on a four-day visit to Brussels to meet with top European Union (EU) officials, SABC news reported on Saturday.
Zuma met with EU trade commissioner Peter Mandelson, EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana and members of the European parliament.
Security in the Great Lakes region and Zimbabwe were among the topics of discussion.
Zuma urged the EU to be cautious in its approach to Zimbabwe.
"What contribution can be made by EU in helping the Zimbabwean issue to be resolved? And I've been saying we need to not do something that will actually make it difficult for those who are dealing with the issue, and not just shouting from a distance, to resolve the matter..."
South Africa and the EU were currently involved in negotiations on a future strategic partnership.
Zuma sought to reassure the EU about the current situation in South Africa, given the recent upheavals within the ANC which have raised concerns about the country's stability.
Zuma said he was invited to Brussels in his personal capacity. - Sapa
