South Africa's central bank on Thursday raised its main lending rate by 25 basis points to 7.25%, smaller than the 50 basis point increase expected by the majority of economists polled by Reuters.

Three members of the bank's Monetary Policy Committee preferred the 25 basis points increase, while two members preferred a 50 basis points increase, Lesetja Kganyago, Governor of the South African Reserve Bank, said.

He also warned the effects of persistent rotational power cuts on the economy, with the state power utility having implemented power cuts since around mid last year.
