The WTC title is for Wits Technical College (probably their cadet detachment)
The XII title is possibly a WW1 title for Pretoria Regt as they were known as the 12th Infantry Bn. See attached badge as a reference.

Not sure of the rest yet!

The bottom is Rand Rifles Mine Guard, the Rand Rifles were in effect the Johannesburg Town Guard during the Anglo Boer War.
