The 35-year-old played 44 games, having an important role in providing experience not only in midfield but across the field.
It is understood that Makhaula will now be staying on for another season, going past his 36th birthday still at the club.
He ended the past campaign injured but is expected back for pre-season at the end of June.
Makhaula has had a bright career in his 30s, getting to play for Highlands Park, AmaZulu FC, and Pirates.
Until just over about a decade ago, he was a cleaner working for the BOSASA Group at the Lindela Repatriation Centre in Krugersdorp.

His break came when he left local amateur club Trabzon to Free State Stars in 2014.
Pirates have already introduced the rising Simphiwe Selepe in central midfield, where they also have Goodman Mosele keen to prove his consistency.
