"The painting denigrates the president, not just him, but women as well, given how a woman is portrayed," Toko Xasa, ANCWL spokeswoman, told AFP.
"We can't allow that to happen."An ANCWL statement before the march attacked "the portrayal of the President's genitals in the mouth of a woman," and said the event would celebrate Zuma's role in transforming the country since apartheid.
"We, therefore, stand firm in saying 'hands off President Zuma' as the leader of the (ANC) organisation and father of the nation," it said.
"These women are protecting and defending someone who is raping the country," he told AFP. "They should be protesting to protect the victims."
Members loudly cheered to calls made by various leaders, saying the president is a father too and elderly men must be respected in African culture.
Thousands of women in green dresses marched to the Union Buildings to raise various issues of concern but most importantly to defend the dignity of the president.
The league says in the past all presidents who led the ANC, like Oliver Tambo, were defended no matter what and Zuma is included.
Members will be handing over a memorandum to a government representative.
ANCWL President Bathabile Dlamini has defended the movement's decision to march to defend Zuma's dignity.
KEEP SCROLLING TO THE END ...WE STILL GOT LOTS MORE .......

YOU CAN SKIP THIS PART(short joke)...
A young couple moved into a new neighbourhood. The next morning while eating breakfast, the young woman saw her neighbour through the window hanging the wash outside.
"That laundry is not clean," she said. "She doesn't know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap".
Her husband looked on, but remained silent. Every time the neighbour would hang laundry to dry, the young woman would make the same
comments.
About one month later, the woman was surprised to see nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband: "Look, she has learnt how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this!"
The husband replied: "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows."
And so it is with life.
What we see when watching others depends on the purity of the window through which we look.
Easy to discuss other people, their lives and things that don't really concern us.
Yet we tend to forget- our window isn't that clean after all.
Clean up your window with the WORD! (THE TRUTH.)
LORD, please give us the strength, humility and courage that we may work on our faults first rather than seeing the faults in Others and castigating them.
Have a beautiful Week !
