Sibande spent 20 years working on different farms in the Eastern Transvaal. He never stayed on the same farm for very long because he invariably challenged his employers about working conditions, earning himself the label of troublemaker. In the s, Sibande moved to the Bethal Location and started helping farm workers with work-related problems.

During those days, farm workers were forced to work from sunrise to sunset, were fed phuthu and gravy on sacks and had to eat quickly before the gravy soaked through the sacks.

He returned to Bethal and started an ANC branch, which became one of the strongest branches in the country. In , he took a priest, Michael Scott, and a journalist by the name of Ruth First, both political activists and writers, on a tour of farms in the Bethal area to expose them to the near slavery conditions of black people. He helped the late and legendary Henry Nxumalo from Drum magazine to write stories about the suffering of farm workers, which reports shocked the world.
