The Bafana Bafana midfielder, who scored the opening goal of the 2010 World Cup, has been considered one of the club's best players in recent years.
But he does not want to be placed on the same level as Doctor Khumalo, John Moshoeu and company as he has not even won a league championship with the black and gold.
"I cannot call myself a legend or think about ever being labelled as one for Chiefs," he told the Glamour Boys' official website.
"I have not won a league title for the club I have been fortunate enough to win a few Cup titles, without a league trophy I have not achieved the most important goal."
The left winger revealed his ambition to bring the PSL trophy back to Naturena this season. "To me the league is my aim and that is the important piece of silverware it is my priority to win it this season, and after that perhaps and African title," he added.
"But first my aim is to ensure that the Absa Premiership trophy will rest at our club house at the end of the season. Winning the Cups will give me the motivation to win the league as well."
'Shabba' has received a lot of attention from the opposition's hardmen thus far in the new campaign, but he feels this could benefit the team.
"The opposition will always try and mark me tightly and allow me not to play my usual game that means that I need to work harder in each game which is no problem for me.
"In a way it's good if they focus on me because we still have other players in the team who can do the job," he explained.
When asked if Chiefs have the necessary tools to win the league, Tshabalala concluded: "We have a well balanced team in all areas with really good players. I believe that this team is capable of competing for honours on all fronts."
