Mitchell Johnson, Ryan Harris and Peter Siddle smothered England's top order and terrorised the tail as Australia sealed an unlikely 5-0 series whitewash on home soil.
Beating the number one ranked Proteas in South Africa is a much tougher assignment but Lee believes Australia possesses the firepower to win the three-Test series.
"Yeah definitely and it will suit our style of bowling over there too," Lee said on Thursday when asked if Australia's bowlers can repeat the dose against South Africa.
"Mitchell Johnson's been very successful over there in recent times, he batted well and bowled well, that was almost the resurrection of Mitchell Johnson when he had that chance to play over there (in 2011).
"Australian cricket is in a very good spot, I don't see any reason why Australia can't go over there and be competitive and even beat South Africa on their home soil."
Asked if he believes the Proteas batsmen are scared of Johnson and co, Lee replied: "No one likes facing fast bowling, I've always said that.
"I don't care who's batting, if someone's bowling 150kms and someone's throat, no one likes it."
Lee, who retired from Test cricket in 2010, is Australia's third most prolific fast bowler having claimed 310 wickets.
Only Glenn McGrath (563) and Dennis Lillee (355) claimed more Test scalps than the 37-year-old.
Lee hopes Johnson (242) can pass him on the all-time list of Australian wicket takers and believes the 32-year-old's best days are still ahead of him.
"I hope he can get as many wickets as he possibly can," Lee said.
"He's got a great Test record both with bat and ball.
"He's a class act, he's a left-armer bowler as well which I think helps him and helps the Aussie cricket team, it brings a different dynamic over the wicket and across the right-hand batsmen and I think that's really important.
"The sky's the limit now for Mitch, if he keeps bowling with that confidence and with that mindset that he has, who knows where he can be."
Meanwhile, Lee defended his 'Bodyline' barrage that left talk show host Piers Morgan with a broken rib during a television stunt at the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne.
New Zealand legend Sir Richard Hadlee condemned Lee's actions after he repeatedly followed 48-year-old Morgan down the leg side with short-pitched deliveries.
"He's (Hadlee) entitled to his opinion, it's as simple as that," an unrepentant Lee said.
"What I did with Piers Morgan was a bit of fun. He talked it up on social media and I guess when he came out here he couldn't back down and that was the way it was."
Lee will be back in action for the Sydney Sixers against cross-town rivals Sydney Thunder at ANZ Stadium on Saturday night.
The Sixers need to continue their unbeaten run against the Thunder and have the Perth Scorchers lose to the Melbourne Stars on Monday in order to host a home semi-final.
If the Scorchers beat the Stars, the Sixers will face the daunting trek to Perth to play their semi-final.
