Mkhonto we Sizwe (MK) party leader Jacob Zuma says his party will take the matter to an international court over allegations of fraud in last month's elections.
The party's decision came after the Electoral Tribunal rejected its application to declare the election results invalid.
President Zuma said his party has instructed its legal team to take all steps to ensure justice is achieved both within South Africa and abroad.
“We will not allow South African judges to do that. They judge angrily because they hate you. We want judges who look at things, who see the issues. That's where we're going.”

MK claims the Electoral Commission (IEC) and the Constitutional Court ignored evidence that supported its claims that last month's election was fraudulent.
The MK Party has accused the Constitutional Court of relying on technicalities.
“We have presented concrete evidence to the IEC showing widespread irregularities in the voting process and voting system, but it has all been ignored. We have also tried all peaceful means to redress our grievances, but to no avail. We have approached the highest court in the country, but our case was dismissed without a hearing. They are resorting to technical issues and democracy itself is being destroyed.”

The party also accused the ruling African National Congress (ANC) of being an enemy of progress.
The ANC is in the process of forming a government of national unity with the Democratic Alliance, the Inkatha Freedom Party and others.
The party also used the press conference to condemn what it called “Ramaphosa's ANC”.
