text:
Joseph-Marie-Stanislas Dupont, nicknamed Moto Moto by the Bemba people was a French Catholic missionary bishop, who was a pioneer in Zambia's Northern Province from 1885 to 1911. He persuaded the Bemba, feared by the Europeans colonizers and by neighbouring tribes, to allow him to become the first missionary into their territory around Kasama. At the time the British South Africa Company (BSAC) chartered by Britain to administer North-Eastern Rhodesia was not in control of all the territory.
