Hi mike, this is very patchy but I think it goes like this, with my peoples labours, with my peoples purpose reached ,union makes power, 30th June 1902. The rear! provided , and enjoyed the fruit of labour view. also seems to have industrie, medal seems to have a forge or furnace only a long shot but this might help.

Something like 'with my people I worked' and 'with my people i reached a goal'. I think this was given to workers who finished something. I see no link to South Africa or the Boer War.

MET MIJN VOLK HET IK GEARBEID
With my people, I laboured.

MET MIJN VOLK HET DOEL BEREIKT
With my people, the goal is reached.
