The president attended a fundraising dinner for the Adopt-a-School foundation at a Johannesburg hotel, after which one of the guests tested positive for Covid-19 on Tuesday.
According to acting presidency spokesperson Tyrone Seale, the event, which hosted 35 guests, adhered to "stringent" Covid-19 protocols.
Seale said, as was the case with all the guests, the president only removed his mask to dine and when addressing the gathering.
The president was showing no symptoms and would only get tested if he started to show symptoms. He would continue his duties remotely, said Seale.
