Abstract:
The research investigates into the impediments and the best practice use of derivatives in Zimbabwe, Botswana and
South Africa. The research has been based on a mixed method research approach. The significance of the study has
been to identify the gaps in the use of derivatives and the factors that have given rise to the gaps. It has been revealed
that Banks in Zimbabwe only use the simple forward agreements derivative to hedge risk. In Botswana only simple
forward agreements, foreign currency exchange swaps, credit default swaps and currency options are commonly used
by international banks as hedging instruments. In South Africa a broad range of simple and complicated derivatives are
fairly used, such as financial futures and options, as well as derivatives in commodities.
