Very poor although they did say on Friday they had to take quite a few units offline for emergency maintenance - not sure if that counts as planned or unplanned maintenance (different from units tripping, or so Eskom wants you to think).

That's unplanned and usually that means boiler tube leaks which take a few days to repair due to the need to cool down, dismantle, plug leaking tubes and get back online after some testing.
 
When they say "recover emergency reserves", what they're actually saying is burning diesel 24/7 to full pumped storage:

Station build-up for the last 7 days - Eskom Data Portal

This shows how resources were used to build-up the demand over the past 7 days, and it includes both generation and demand side resources that Eskom has contracts with.

Not sure where COO of Eskom gets that they needed weekend loadshedding to save "emergency reserves". Don't see fokkal saving. Wind picked up mid sat on to sunday saving diesel. moz imports dropped to zero on sunday but starts picking up to full capacity around 11pm:

All this happened a year and a half ago. The generator has been repaired and is undergoing end of manufacturing test and will be delivered to Koeberg by December. Why is it big news now?
News24 reported that a steam generator meant for Unit 1 had dropped in a factory in China.

During the briefing, Oberholzer indicated that the drop happened a year and a half ago, and all the repairs to it have been completed.

Featherstone further added that the steam generator was on an assembly line and dropped by about a foot (or 30 centimetres) to the floor. The analyses, inspections and repair work that followed took some time, but the steam generator is acceptable for use, he explained. The steam generator is now undergoing its end-of-manufacturing inspections and tests before being shipped to Koeberg,
