Police say a second man has died during violent protests by striking miners at the Nkaneng informal settlement in Photsaneng near Rustenburg.
Representatives of 12 000 fired Anglo American Platinum workers plan to lay murder charges after a colleague was killed in clashes with police.
Hundreds of the 12 000 miners sacked by Amplats have rejected their dismissal and some say they will use violence to get their jobs back.
A new round of talks between the platinum industry and unions got off to a rocky start, as Amplats announced it had fired 12 000 striking workers.
Miners have welcomed the deal to end the long strike that cost the lives of 45 people, but some observers worry the agreement will set a precedent.
Police have used rubber bullets and teargas to disperse a group of people gathered near Anglo American Platinum in Rustenburg.
Anglo American Platinum will resume work at its Rustenburg operations on Tuesday, days after the government launched a crackdown to disarm miners.
