Johannesburg - The ANC's national executive committee wants Parliament to protect President Jacob Zuma and his deputy Cyril Ramaphosa from "humiliation and embarrassment" from opposition parties, Sunday Times reported.
This was according to a statement released at the end of an NEC on Saturday, the newspaper reported.
"The NEC cautions against continuing this trend of negatively exposing the head of state to disrespect and intended humiliation by a fringe group committed to undermining democracy," secretary general Gwede Mantashe was quoted as saying in the statement.
Sunday Times said the ANC would not explain how the protection would be provided, but said it did not mean Zuma and Ramaphosa would be above accountability.
