It has become our tradition that after every gathering, we capture a special group photo, most of us proudly in uniform, while our distinguished delegates are dressed for the occasion. And true to form, once the formal shoot is complete, BlessMedia Bless ensures we end with one lighthearted “crazy picture” to celebrate the moment. This time, it followed the official handover of the Windhoek Declaration to H.E. Secretary General of the SADC PF, Ms. Boemo Sekgoma, and the result was unforgettable.
