It is a debated issue. The last area known as a "colony" was Rhodesia, which gained independence from the UK as Zimbabwe in 1980. This was also the last area owned by a nation that was not based in Africa.
In the 1990's Namibia gained its independence from South Africa. It was similar to a colony in how it was governed and owned by another nation, although it was not referred to as a "colony".
In 2011 South Sudan gained its independence from Sudan. Like Namibia, it was not referred to as a colony, although it was similar to a colony.
The last piece of land governed by another nation in Africa is West Sahara. It was a Spanish Colony until 1975, when its sovereignty was changed to a joint-governed territory ruled by Mauritania and Morocco. Today Morocco occupies and governs much of West Sahara, somewhat similar to a colony.
There are two very small pieces of land on Africa which are part of Spain. The cities of Cueta and Melilla are cities in the Kingdom of Spain. They are not colonies, and they are only a couple of square miles of land.
