Sindane wants to ‘edutain’, a term he says he came up with , that embodies the act of educating while entertaining. Sindane believes that through accounting, the arts, and activism, he is learning and unlearning a lot about his upbringing. Sindane reminisces about his first year in university where he arrived during a time of protest and fit right into the movement, even finding himself in jail when he was arrested during the Fees Must Fall protest. He was kept in a holding cell along with his residence mates from Men’s Hall Residence for singing and blocking entrances to campus. He describes those few moments as affirming, a challenge to his comfort and a quick reality into the nature of the world. “Not all blacks are equal and the inequality needs to be addressed and acknowledged within our race and further in relation to other races,” he added.
