Joseph-Marie-Stanislas Dupont (23 July 1850 – 19 March 1930) nicknamed Moto Moto (‘fire fire’) by the Bemba people was a French Catholic missionary bishop who was a pioneer in Zambia’s Northern Province (then part of North-Eastern Rhodesia) 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.
