A local rickshaw driver in 'traditional' costume on the quayside at Durban, with a Union-Castle Line ship in the background. The rickshaw has a notice 'European Only' on the side, reflecting the political situation in South Africa at the time. Note the disk on the hawser, to the right of the head dress, to prevent rats from climbing aboard the ship.
