The fast bowler, who has two ODI caps for the Proteas, joins Blair Tickner and Mohammad Amir in Derbyshire's overseas ranks
Derbyshire have signed South Africa international Daryn Dupavillon in order to strengthen their bowling attack.
The fast bowler, who has two ODI caps for the Proteas, will be available in all formats from the start of May until mid-September, with his final appearance due to be against Middlesex in the County Championship.
He joins Blair Tickner and Mohammad Amir in Derbyshire's overseas ranks.
"We felt we needed one more fast bowler to be part of our attack, particularly in red-ball cricket, and Daryn is an experienced option who will bring real pace and skill into the fold," said head coach, Mickey Arthur.

"I'm delighted to welcome a player of Daryn's quality. He is highly regarded in the South African game and has experience in international and franchise cricket. He will be a real asset for us in all forms of the game.
"We have a very strong squad for the coming season, with Blair Tickner being here for the first half of the campaign, Daryn coming in from May and we're keen to have Mohammad Amir for the second half of the Vitality Blast, after the T20 World Cup."

Over the course of his career, Dupavillon has made 77 first-class appearances, taking 230 wickets at 25.69.
With the white ball, he has 48 wickets in 34 List A outings and 67 wickets with an economy of 7.71 in 59 T20 matches.
Dupavillon added: "I'm really excited to be joining Derbyshire, I'm not sure there's a cricketer around who would not want to work with a coach like Mickey Arthur, and the opportunity to play in England is one I want to make the most of.
"Mickey has spoken to me about the ambition he has for the club and there's some real quality in the squad, so I'm looking forward to getting started and helping to put some positive results on the board."
