joseph-marie-stanislas dupont -lrb- 23 july 1850 -- 19 march 1930 -rrb- , nicknamed moto moto -lrb- ` fire fire ' -rrb- by the bemba people was a french catholic missionary bishop , who was a pioneer in zambia 's northern province -lrb- then part of north-eastern rhodesia -rrb- 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 -lrb- bsac -rrb- chartered by britain to administer north-eastern rhodesia was not in control of all the territory .
