Players from the islands of Zanzibar have had a history of their own Yanga since long ago
Abdi Kassim 'Babi' is one of the players who earned great respect while serving Yanga
Babi served Yanga between 2007 and 2010 playing 65 matches and scoring a total of 29 goals
Many remember Babi for his ability to shoot hard shots through his left foot
In 2017, Babi was the first player to score at the Benjamin Mkapa stadium on the opening day of a friendly match between Tanzania and Uganda
Babi shot a shot near the line that divides the field and the shot counted for Tanzania's only goal of the game
Recently Yanga has signed young midfielder Shekhan Khamis from JKU club in Zanzibar
Shekhan is compared to Babi for his style of play and his great shooting ability
Being only 18 years old, Shekhan has already started terrorizing the gatekeepers due to the missiles coming from his left foot
In the quarter-final match of the Mapinduzi Cup, which Yanga lost by losing 3-1, Shekhan showed his ability to unleash sharp blows
If it wasn't for the APR goalkeeper's prowess, he probably could have scored a goal through one of the free kicks he hit
Shekhan is a very talented player who will undoubtedly show his skills in the team of coach Miguel Gamondi
