Maluleka was named the cup's player of the tournament at the PSL's annual awards ceremony last night, beating fellow nominees Mashamaite and Masango to the prize.
The former Ajax Cape Town man scored three goals to help Amakhosi claim the trophy in September.
"I dedicate this award to the team," Maluleka is quoted as saying on Chiefs' website.
“All three of us deserved to win this award. Although, of course, it’s also special on a personal level. It’s my first PSL award.”
Mashamaite was the big winner at the function in Sandton, winning the Footballer of the Season, players' player and best defender accolades.
Glamour Boys mentor Stuart Baxter claimed the Coach of the Season gong for steering the Soweto giants to a League and MTN8 double.
