I've never heard of Tsotsi or Rendition, but Tsotsi is apparently about some gang leader in Johannesburg. Could be the guy with the punch a Wolverine movie needs.
So I guess it IS a prequel. Remember all the verbal side-stepping we were hearing from Avi Arad? "Not a prequel, not a sequel." Sounded like hooey, was basically hooey. Fine.
