The ANCWL intends approaching the Equality Court after protesting teachers displayed a pair of panties they said belonged to Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga.
"The [African National Congress's Women's League] noted with dismay disturbing media reports about some Sadtu members publicly displaying a piece of underwear attributed to Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga during last week's protest march," Limpopo ANCWL secretary Maleke Mokganyetsi said in a statement.
"They must face the full wrath of our criminal justice system."
Describing the SA Democratic Teachers' Union as "counter-revolutionary", Mokganyetsi said protesters who displayed the panties in Pretoria on Wednesday had to be condemned.
"We refer to the short-sightedness and stupidity of a female-dominated union that humiliates and suppresses other women."
The Sadtu protest was a call for the resignation of Motshekga and her director general Bobby Soobrayan.
A photograph of the large panties shows them being stretched across a piece of wire. The slogan "Puluma ya Angie" is written in black pen across its front.
"We are very much disappointed in those who are suppose to teach our children about sexual violence and gender discrimination, but opt to promote it in our streets," said Mokganyetsi.
Sadtu spokesman Mugwena Maluleke said earlier this week the union was non-sexist and promoted equality.
"We therefore cannot condone such an act" Maluleke said.
