The two choices were made at a CAF meeting in Morocco and will probably start contention, remarkably the Cup of Nations dates which again conflict with club responsibilities for the vast majority of the players.
The finals were because of be played in June one year from now in the Ivory Coast, which stays as host.
Yet, worries over the climate in west Africa in mid-year have directed a change.
"We accepted a ton of counsel and we concluded we can't face a challenge," Motsepe told a news meeting.
"We would rather not risk that our top rivalry will be cleaned out."
He didn't respond to an inquiry regarding the reason why it had taken such a long time for CAF to roll out the improvement, given it had been cautioned of the stormy season when it was reported it would happen in mid-2023.
CAF moved the facilitating of its mainland title to mid-year in 2019 to stay away from the club versus country tussle for its top players.
However, weather conditions concerns and the Covid-19 pandemic made the last version be played in Cameroon in January, reigniting grievances from clubs in Europe compelled to surrender their African players to public obligation in mid-season.

The idea has met with a muffled reaction in Africa rather than the intense resistance to a comparable proposition in Europe last year, which immediately scuppered the thought.
