The expensive onesin my experience are either from Sygnia, ETFs that rebalance monthly instead of quarterly and offshore ones with lots of constituents.
In other words, those which trade a lot within the fund.
I moved my tfsa to EE. One fund (sygnia 4th generation ....). R190 dividends paid out, I got only R42 after fees. Value of the fund is R35000, with no monthly topups
