Police said it was unclear whether the victims were still alive. "At this stage we don't know how many women there are, because there are many, many photos," said Constable Masilela Langa.
Forensic experts are working to determine if the body parts came from 21 different women.
"We are busy with the investigation and are questioning the man. It seems as if he knew the victims and knew where to find them," she said, appealing to his victims to come forward.
The man is due to appear in Bloemfontein Magistrate's Court today on charges of sexual assault.
