Which country was this taken? If it’s in Uganda, what tribe/ethnicity are these people from? Of course not the muzungu 🙂
Based on other photographs in the collection it seems likely that this photograph was made in western Uganda, or border region with Congo / Rwanda, and that the people with ‘the Mzungu’ could be members of a Batwa community.
See for comparison this photograph, made decades earlier in Mbogo; Congo/Uganda border area http://www.hipuganda.org/collection/a-t-s-in-toro-and-mboga-1928-1936/attachment/13704
