The Island with the LONG NAME-Loyalty

After Tsotsi encounters the baby his priorities change and he informs Butcher and Aap that he does not want to be part of the gang anymore. Later Aap returns by himself displaying his loyalty to Tsotsi.

The camera angles support the theme of loyalty by using level point of view shots to show equality between Tsotsi and Aap in the scene. For the first time int he film Aap is not Tsotsi's inferior. He comes to Tsotsi as a friend and not as just a member of the gang.

Their costumes in the scene emphasises Aap's loyalty to Tsotsi even though Tsotsi's clothing is constantly changing. Tsotsi is wearing a vest opposed to his usual leather jacket, where as loyal Aap remains in his blue over-alls.
