Shakes to Prez – 5 degrees

Benson Mandela of the Strika team in Kenya recently met Sarah Hussein Obama, none other than the grandmother of the US Prez. Benson happened to have Dancing Rasta with him (in T-shirt form), and this had interesting ramifications for his teammate Shakes. Because, in terms of six degrees of separation, the Supa Strikas star and the leader of the free world are now linked thus:

Shakes=Dancing Rasta=Benson Mandela=Sarah Obama=Barack Obama

Can we connect two world players by just five degrees? In Obama’s words, “Yes we can!”
