A man believed to be a National Union of Mineworkers' (NUM) member was killed, and another person was injured in a shooting at Lonmin's Wonderkop hostel on Monday, North West police said.
"One died at the scene and one has been taken to the hospital," Colonel Sabata Mokgwabone said.
According to the police's initial information the shots were fired between 11am and noon.
Police could not immediately confirm a report that one of the men shot at was a NUM shop steward. They had been told he was a member of the union.

In August, 34 people were killed in a clash with police during a strike at Lonmin's Marikana mine.
