She came back from Mahébourg yesterday.
Comment:
There is also a verb sorti (short form: sort) 'come from', 'depart from'. This verb does not require a preposition. Without any TAM marker or temporal adverbial, li sort Maybur would generally be understood to mean 'she comes from Mahébourg' (i.e. was born and raised there) but, with a TAM marker and/or a temporal adverbial as in li (ti) sort Maybur yer 'she came from Mahébourg yesterday' would refer to a recent or forthcoming journey and carry no implications about place of origin.
