Alleged genital mutilator Peter Frederiksen will conduct his own defence, he told the Free State High Court in Bloemfontein on Thursday.
He told the court during a pre-trial hearing that he had only heard on Thursday, when the State notified him that his lawyer Howard Woolf would not be in court.
The State handed in an email by Woolf giving reasons why he was not in Bloemfontein on Thursday.
Frederiksen has been battling to secure funds to pay for a private attorney since 2016.
The Danish national and former gun shop owner faces 59 charges, including assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm, possession of unregistered medicine, distribution and possession of child pornography, conspiracy to murder, and bigamy. He also faces charges relating to possession of illegal firearms.
