The following has evaluated to null or missing:
==> data.meta [in template "252001#252047#252845" at line 459, column 10]
----
Tip: It's the step after the last dot that caused this error, not those before it.
----
Tip: If the failing expression is known to legally refer to something that's sometimes null or missing, either specify a default value like myOptionalVar!myDefault, or use <#if myOptionalVar??>when-present<#else>when-missing</#if>. (These only cover the last step of the expression; to cover the whole expression, use parenthesis: (myOptionalVar.foo)!myDefault, (myOptionalVar.foo)??

On the following page the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung's (KAS) office in Johannesburg compiled its own reports and analysis as well as further information on the 2014 South African General Elections, which took place on 7 May.
On the occasion of the fifth free and democratic elections since the end of apartheid, 31.4 million South Africans were entitled to vote for a new national parliament as well as nine provincial legislatures. The South African Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) counted 25.4 million registered voters, who accounted for 80% of South Africans entitled to vote. Eventually, 18.7 million (almost 60% of the voting age population) made use of their right to vote. For the first time, even South African expats abroad were allowed to register for voting at the country’s foreign missions.
On election day the KAS office in Johannesburg sent its own observer mission to a couple of voting stations in and around Johannesburg. You will find all relevant information of KAS and further reading to the General Election from 7 May 2014 on this page.
