Yeah, I think Namibia was one of the last countries to become independent. So, in terms of being the last "father of the nation", he might be up there.

Eritrea became independent one year after Namibia. Its first and only president is Isaias Afwerki, 78 years old.

Kosovo, was, if I’m correct, the last country to became independent, but Ibrahim Rugova died in 2006.

Not one of the last countries to become independent, but:

Manuel Pinto da Costa, founding President of São Tomé and Príncipe (island country roughly the size of a fly's shit) is still alive, but still young for an African leader at 86.
