If you're planning on getting another sulcata plan on having two separate enclosures. Tortoises do not play well with others. You may get away with it for a bit while they are still hatchlings but it won't be long before they decide they do not want to share their space or food. You don't want to come home and find one injured or even worse dead. Cute tort though.

If you are thinking that Sinyo needs a friend, you are mistaken. Tortoises are solitary creatures. They live alone in the wild, and fight when they come upon another tortoise in their territory (unless its for breeding). Sinyo wants to be an only tortoise, that way he doesn't have to compete for the best hiding place for for the food. Tortoises don't get "lonely" for other tortoises.
