Thanks for that , looks like I am going to have to change the 2.5mm2 to 4.0mm2 to the lights mam a mia , that was a job and a half putting in the 2.5mm2 from what I can remember , but you can't have enough supplimentry bonding in the house and I have a lot , water n gas pipes were I have been able to get to them , I hink there is more copper in the cpc's around the house than in Zambia ! .
cheers guys and thank you all for your comments and help .

Was all that bonding actually necessary? Bonding things which don't need it can potentially increase danger rather than reduce it.
It would be far better to rewire the circuit than run an additional cpc, the old cables are likely to be getting towards the end of their expected lifespan of they aren't past it already.
What Zs readings did you get when you tested the 2.5mm cpc?
