Chiefs have had to cope with biting their thumb nails in admiration as Pirates rule the local scene in the last two years and Lebese admits that has to come to an end.
"It is never an easy thing to see our main rivals win almost all the cups and dominate the way they have done while we are not winning anything. So we will go all out this season to make sure we change that tide starting with the game against them this weekend.
"This is a game that will mark the beginning towards reversing the domination. That we have to dominate again is something that we don't need to be reminded about," says Lebese.
That this weekend's tie is a fans directed game makes no difference to the 23 year-old who insists it is a game that must be won at all costs especially for the pride of the fans.
"For us as players it is still a Derby despite the fact that the fans are the ones that choose the first eleven. We still going to try and win the Derby for the sake of our fans happiness. Nothing is different about the vibe as well because there is still the same vibe as there always has been before ahead of any Derby.
"The coach is also more positive and giving us that positive energy as he wants us to win things. We will also go all systems out to make sure that we win all cups and dominate the League," he says.
Lebese is raising his hand towards taking the responsibility of making sure that he becomes a regular influence in the team and not the inconsistent player that he has been.
"Consistency is something that I am looking forward to improving in this season because it has been my biggest downfall in the past. I need to show up more in the team this season by working hard and if I do that things will come out right for me in the end," says Lebese.

Honours with Chiefs: 2008-09 MTN8 Winner, 2009-2010 Telkom Knockout winner
Since 2008, he has appeared 44 times and scored 4 goals in non official tournaments. This is a less effective player and he does n't add value, yet kept like the Sibeko's of this world. This player is very average. What has he achieved since 2008, at age 23 he has not commanded a regular place.
Chiefs should have loaned this guy.
George just make sure you watch King Kong before you sleep tonight as to scare yourself enough lest you become scared tomorrow evening when you up against Gorillas. Planet of the Apes will help also cause you will come across Myeni tomorrow.
We cannot compromise the brand.
The Revival - Khosi4Lyf!
You have age at your side....unleash your youngblood killer blows
He never contributed a damn thing at his team but yet Chiefs fans says he is promising.
Promising for 4 years?...even Masango is still promising....Mediocrity is the order of the day at Naturena.
Jali is 22,this boy 23 but you will swear AJ has been in PSL for a decade as his peers,Lebese,Masango, etc have been taking backwards steps since been in PSL
------------------------------------------------
You damn right you will wing things,Gauteng and Macufe awards not PSL cups
If this was a song, i promise you each year we were going to have a Song of the year from Chiefs.Zahara was in trouble.
Last year,Bobby promised them 4 cups
After MTN8,Chiefs gunning for trebble
AND then they won Macufe...Chiefs back on winning ways
And then,VV introduced 5 Captains(Time for change the headline said)
After Telkom,Chiefs in line for Double
,After Nedbank ,Chiefs to clinch the League to make up for lost cups
After all this headlines they created on their website and passed to KO,their fans where always on cloud 12
when we played Chiefs in the MTN8 final, Chiefs fans said, no one beats Chiefs in the final and Manyisa wont repeat what he did to Sakaland of Sundowns.
and we all saw how ACE made the self proclaimed mzansi number 1 a grade R keeper.
genevive: now u are exposing your illness, everyone knows Mbuyane scores important goals where it matters most.
This boy did n't need to be at Pirates to play for the national team. This is one star player we love and respect at Pirates because he always rise to the occasion.
Do you want to give me another player maybe.
Changing artists on one song doesn't make that song different.

M. Josephs, L. Lekgwathi, T. Matlaba, R. Mahamutsa, S. Sangweni, S. Myeni, M. Mayambela, A. Jali, O. Manyisa, T. Mbuyane, B. McCarthy
