It says the MPC "unanimously decided to increase the policy rate by 25 basis points to 7.25%, effective 25 September". It was announced on 23 September 2026 by Governor Kganyago. - **Corroboration:** Moneyweb and Hypertext headlines in the search results say the same.

The window matches `oracle.json`, including the key order the checker requires. - **Not done:** There was no on-chain scan, since this is a panel question about a news event.
I wrote `artifacts/answer.json` with an answer of 725, meaning a repo rate of 7.25%. `check-answer.mjs` prints `ok`. I did not open the South African Reserve Bank's statement page.
